Notes About The Poem

I Fear Its Stench

Feeling a rumbling deep in my gut
I'm not quite sure what that’s all about
as I clench the sphincter in my butt.

Something rank is trying to get out
and based upon my bloated bowel
it's going to succeed; I've no doubt.

I might need to throw in the towel
as past experiences affirm
and yet, I fear its stench could be foul.

An internal pressure makes me squirm
and I’m counting down to the blastoff
when this gassy build-up comes to term.

There is no way I can put this off
and yet, to concede may not be smart
even when it’s disguised, with a cough.

What if it turns out it's not a fart,
but its embarrassing counterpart?

Your dilemma is so real I know exactly how you feel When the rumble at the start Indicates you need to fart Let me give you some advice Pooping instead will not be nice Since you'll be left standing there In your now soiled underwear
