Notes About The Poem

Gee Whizz Lady

When I let one loose in the elevator,
I tried holding, but the gas had been greater.
Spreading in age, I couldn’t blame for later,
Every step I took, my body a traitor.

Three young man that were next to me,
Were trying to be respectful. One fell to his knees
Pinched his nose; Gee Whizz, Lady! Snickered tee-hee.
The doors flew opened, they buzzed out like bees.

Fortunately for me my olfactory senses were not harmed during this read. So I was left with a big beaming smile on my face.

Hi Eve, what a give away our age is, it is evident by what others hear and smell - sorry - however, i'm sure we have all had a similar experience. Well penned my friend, Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

My complaint with elevators also -- too many people, and not enough ventilation.... I think you and the young men should see a lawyer together (a case against the manufacturer)...or separately, depending on the time of day, and what everyone has eaten. Excellent, fun read.

Thank you, Joe, for your visit. Yes, places like that should have good ventilation to help control, besides odor absorbing deodorizers. I am glad you liked the read.
