Sweet Revenge

Daddy locked the car doors and really let one rip He did this half a dozen time on an Arizona trip He’d smile as we all suffered from that bean-based lethal shot Not in silence did I suffer, but in silence I did plot Many years have come and gone with my daddy unaware That I’d be saving something deep inside that I would someday share Then just the other evening over drinks and dining out While visiting the restroom, I knew without a doubt Tonight would be the night that daddy got his due When once again he locked the doors, I’d say “this one’s for you” So I whispered to my mother, tonight I saved a fart That I’ll be giving to my daddy before the car can start Before he can engage the key and roll the window down I’ll unleash a deadly one that will knock him to the ground So daddy, unsuspecting, got in and locked the door And silently I smiled, relaxed; and let one roar Daddy started gagging, clasped his hand upon his heart And me, I sat there laughing and said “I saved that fart” It’s been bottled up inside me from that Arizona trip And thinking back upon those days, I let another rip Then gagging, laughing, crying, sweet revenge was had The day I finally got the chance to save a fart for Dad!
