Notes About The Poem

I'M a Gas - It's Official -

An ultrasound scan of my tum Showed lots of foul gas soon will come I try to hold it in But much to my chagrin Foul farts are shooting from my bum I could give up on veggies and sprouts Lush fried onions in large amounts I do farts loud and quiet But I won’t alter my diet My doctor says good fibre counts Some veggies don’t agree with me They make me fart so frequently My hubby doesn’t mind Thank goodness he’s kind I have got a big problem you see You could call me a flatulent lass Foul wind’s shooting out of my ass I admit I’ve been windy Can’t blame our dog Mindy My doctor says Jan it will pass A somewhat tongue in cheek poem... but I had an ultrasound last week to check for ovarian cancer as my stomach had been bloated for several weeks... the result of the scan is a cyst on my kidney and ‘lots of gas’ in my stomach which i do not expel in public lol. My doctor is happy I follow a high fibre diet and I think things will get better once I stop eating sprouts lol * we don't have a dog! 12/09/20

G’day Jan … did you have to ride in a crowded elevator? If you did, I’ll bet you couldn’t wipe the smile off you face - still grinning Jan - Lindsay

hahaha that last phrase was priceless. You made great humor out of your "condition" I sometimes do little toots jumping on my trampoline. Never happened when I was young!! I must eat right because rarely they smell. haha.

Lol! Jan, I'm happy it's nothing serious! You would find humor out of the whole ordeal. I need to be more like you. These Limericks are funny by the way. Enjoy the rest of your day:-) Alexis

Leave it to you to make us laugh about your "medical problem." :) I should have seen this one coming! Hilarious, Hon. Sometimes I think people purposely try to mislead us by blaming their dogs. Veggies can do this! I have a problem with broccoli, especially when it's not cooked. Great work! Hugs, Carolyn

One of the things you should have noticed on your walks is that herbivores fart, and excel at very stinky ones! So lose the veggies and eat meat as that will make your husband VERY happy! Aloha! Rico
