Notes About The Poem

Lift Off

When I let one loose in the elevator alas I’m locked in with mater and pater I wish I could drop right through the floor because Pa can’t prise open the lift door My parents both pass out with the smell and so I hammer on the emergency bell When the firemen release us from the lift I leave a silent but deadly foul ‘farting gift’ When I Let One Loose In The Elevator Poetry Contest Sponsored by Charles Messina 08/01/21

That was too funny Jan. If in this life you have ever had giardia from seafood then you might have those horrendous farts. Thanks for giving me a laugh also. Nancy
