Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Flatulence - a Subject Not To Be Sniffed At

So I write about farting and pooh
But fart sniffing may prove good for you
Foul hydrogen sulphide
has been found to provide
benefits helping cells stay like new 


Inspired by an item in a magazine which lead me to find a link and I had a blast writing the poem!
