Notes About The Poem

Flumbos and Fluffetts

Our friend Bob recently passed away and I was asked by his wife to write a poem about their pet names for farts and I have her blessing to post the poem on soup


All over the world people are farting
And some folks give their farts a cute name
But no matter what you call them
They smell pretty much the same

Silent but deadly farts
They still stink but there is no sound
Their stench it can be detected
As the aroma will linger around

Bob was tall and handsome
And so incredibly strong
But when he let rip with a fart
There was an incredible pong!

Over time his farts got much louder
His pet name for farts was a ‘flumbo’
The farts were so ginormous
He could compete with the elephant Dumbo

Bob’s lovely wife Mary
She hails from the USA
And when she passes wind
It’s done in a feminine way

Mary will fart genteelly
She calls her farts a ‘fluffy or fluffett’
They may be silent but deadly
But the scent lingers round you can bet!

Pat Adams August 25, 2017 at 7:09 PM I love this poem Jan. The cartoon is great too! (Almost makes a fart seem erotic) A bit of a stretch, but I don't want to get too long "winded". 80) pat Jan Allison August 26, 2017 at 3:24 AM ha ha ha Pat I am not so sure about erotic it depends what direction the wind is blowing lol:-) I think fluffett is a an elegant name for a fart and flumbo is very descriptive:-) hugs jan xx

Anne-Lise Andresen August 22, 2017 at 1:56 PM The first day at the nursing home - In the morning she got a nice breakfast and was put in a chair by a window with a beautiful view - She seemed OK, but gradually she began to lean sideways in her chair - Two nurses flew up to correct her -This happened again and again all day -Later the family came to visit - "Mom, how is it here?" -Are they nice to you ?" they asked - "It's okay," replied the mother - "but here it is not allowed to fart" :))) - Just wanted to share this, Jan - hugs Jan Allison August 22, 2017 at 5:08 PM ha ha ha that is hilaiarse Anne Lise:-) hugs jan xx Anne-Lise Andresen August 22, 2017 at 1:57 PM - I think it was a 'fluffy or fluffett' :))) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Lin Lane August 22, 2017 at 8:32 AM "Flumbo" reminds me of the name used in New Orleans night parades for the men who carry flaming torches. They're called Flambeau carriers. NOT a good idea for a flambeau to get near a flumbo or a fluffett. Thanks for the humor, Jan. Jan Allison August 22, 2017 at 8:55 AM ha ha ha Lin that is a hilarious thought a flambeau'd flumbo!:-) hugs jan xx
