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
