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!
Of course this was based on an actual series of events – some of the details may
have been enhanced for your reading pleasure.
