Strictly Come Tooting

A flatulent dancer named Mel
would discharge a terrible smell
She’d toot through the tango
the waltz and fandango
Her dance partner’s life was sheer hell!

Makes me think of “Dancing With The Stars” The professional dance was on her hands and her butt was in the Star’s face when she let out a toot. It was during their practice. She collapsed on the floor and I laughed so hard. A cute toot it was...lol!

I think its one of my better limericks Janice, shame I didn't have time to write a second one but the contest had 30 entries by the time I even saw it so i hurried to get the final line finished and get it posted. I didn't have time to look through my older ones, maybe they would have placed higher:-) hugs jan xx

I am so glad I managed to finish the last line in time, I got up this morning to find 30 places had already been filled so dashed to finish it and post it before we went out, would have missed out otherwise as the contest had closed by the time we got back 6 hours later!:-) hugs jan xx
