In the Poop

I knew a young man from Crewe
Who's favorite meal was a stew
Though he became chagrined
As he'd often break wind
And sometimes would follow through.

His wife cried you are obscene
And the noise is causing a scene
For after eating prunes
He could fart in tune
To the anthem God save the Queen.

His bowels were causing a riot
It was time to change his diet
He was afraid to cough
Fear of letting one off
Wasn't easy keeping things quiet.

So as for the young man from Crewe
It's a goodbye to beans and stew
Hoping vegetable soup
Wont make him poop
For relief is long overdue.

She had reached this stage of life where she loved to line dance but was afraid because when on the dance floor people ran for the door they thought a machine gun went off. Thank for sharing this one with us and for giving an added bit of humor to our lives. Sara

Farting to God Save The Queen? Brilliant, even the Sex Pistols never considered that option. Congrats on your very windy win, John. Terry
