Pardon My Parody: What Happens In San Francisco

...and with apologies to Tony Bennett.

I smelled a fart in San Francisco,
It wafted out across the Bay.
An Oakland breeze just blew it back,
A tourist gasped, "A gas attack!"
A drag queen shrieked, "Oy vey!
That's gross!", and swooned away.
Who cut that fart in San Francisco
The CIA is keen to see.
If they find out it's from North Korea or Iran,
It could be the fart that started World War III.

John Lawless Date: 9/26/2022 4:37:00 PM does the governor know you guys are passing gas in California???? Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 9/27/2022 11:21:00 AM Yes, John, but he's keeping it on the downlow. Thanks.

Jeff Kyser Date: 9/26/2022 12:37:00 PM How would they know about this lapse, When they must write poo-tracking apps? With all the weed sold on the street, Those pungent smells would sure compete. Smell like a brewery - they need a bath I hear it is a wicked draft. The gate's not golden, no it sure ain't; Newsom just ripped one and peeled the paint.

My piece is just a parody...yours is a veritable testimonial.

Ilene Bauer Date: 9/26/2022 11:41:00 AM Hilarious, Jim! I’m sure you had fun writing it, too… Login to Reply Jim Slaughter Date: 9/26/2022 1:39:00 PM Thanks, Ilene, and, yes, I did, altho I don't think there was as much tension between us and N. K. and Iran at the time.
