Gasless Edibles

Flackmoth wishes science could eliminate
the foul gas certain edibles create,
notably cabbage and baked beans
and when released cause vivid scenes 
of embarrassment to the offending ilk
who do their best to conceal their guilt –
at packed church suppers especially
when neighborly conviviality
and best behavior proximity 
often suffer most, and a stampede 
for fresh air becomes everyone’s need
and the perfect face-saving opportunity 
to release any residue with anonymity.

Funny as hell, Maurice, when you also take into account the circumstances. However, 'flatulence' is something we all have to accept more and more as we get older. A sad fact of life: we just cannot tolerate a lot of what we have always liked as we age - and most unfortunate it is too! My very best regards, Maurice! :) john

Yes, John, I'm thankful the human body has an outlet for flatulence, smelly and noisy as it sometimes is. It's the same with burping. If I made you laugh, then I accomplished by purpose in writing humorous verse. / Besy to you Maurice
