Stinky Farts

Lanky and tall like a youthful young pup
My grandson, now six, is really growing right up

He likes his independence to do all things…himself
And mostly remembers to put toys back up on the shelf

One day as he’s playing a silly new goofy game
He starts tooting some gas and then does…Complain

He says, I’m not really a poet but I like this new game
My farts are making poetry and smell all the same

He just did not understand why on the floor I did lay
Laughing and laughing at the words he did say

The little ones think farting is the funniest activity in the world, so I think it is natural that we think it funny also when we see their reaction to it. Very pretty poem about a delicate subject! Hahahaha!
