Mother In Law Farts

There’s nothing like a mother in law.
My mother in law is quite a trip.
Every time she gets up from a chair 
she has to let one rip.

I mean, you will never participate
in a fart like one of these.
You know without a doubt 
who cracked that awful cheese.

She just fans it and goes her way.
Just as sassy as your please,
as if it wasn’t her that 
stirred that awful breeze.

I thought I would shame her once 
and cut her to the floor.
She just laughed and hiked that hip
and gave me one or two more.

And as the green fog raised the roof
I gagged, rubbing my eyes and swore,
Mom, you’re the champ, I can’t beat
that hole you just blew through the door.
