In the Elevator

My stomach was feeling grumbly and gassy 
As I dressed for my meeting, looking classy
My hair up in a bun, my black suit on in wool
My breakfast still making me feel too full

I ran into the crowded elevator, my portfolio in hand
But then dropped it, and at my boss’s feet it did land 
I bent over quickly trying to pick up my portfolio paper
And gasped, when I loudly let one loose in the elevator

Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. That was one of the worst situations for it to happen. Thanks for dropping by my blog. I appreciate you writing a tribute to Carolyn. Sara
