I’ve perfected the art Of withholding a fart I tighten my buttocks and clench But when no one is the vicinity I let rip with a dreadful stench A silent secret fart released in a confined place To some folks I guess it’s an utter disgrace If I fart in a lift To me it’s a gift I can leave and I’ll not be red in the face! If a fart is dropped in our house I secretly wish we had a dog I could toot with the noise of a bullfrog but I would have someone else to blame and could then say poor Fido’s name! Contest That’s why I love …. Sponsor Lewis Raynes A fictional write (well I have to say that don’t I … and I don’t have a dog lol) First stanza is taken from my poem ‘the art of farting 06~05~16

Jan, I've made you Poetry Soup's unofficial Queen of Flatulence! What would humor be without it? As for my Transgender poem, I think the whole matter is ridiculous. Sounds more like these people only want to bring attention to themselves. BTW congratulations on your win. Thanks for the stop by. / M

This is so true Jan. I had to laugh about an incident that happened to me today. When my husband gives our granddaughter apple juice it makes her gassy. Well she went with me to the lab today where I had blood drawn and I could smell her. I will bet anything the technician thought it was me. If I had said anything he would have thought I was just blaming my sweet g.daughter. lol congrats on your win with this clever piece! ; )

I heard a story as a student nurse about an elderly patient smoking in a small toilet. As he got up to leave, he tossed the cigarette in the toilet ,just as he farted, yet again. There was an almighty explosion. well done Jan.

Oh, girl you went there, yes you did! My family has always laughed at the 'kick the dog' thing, poor dog. You amaze me in a way that is refreshing and humorous; there is no other Jan. For once, a good poem that actually blows ... CayCay (I HAD to read this to Tim who is responsible for all the squeaky floors in our home.)

Having had personal experience with the "noise of a bullfrog", I must say that would be a VERY intense fart. You'd have to get some new trousers, methinks ;) Oh and BIG congrats on your Owl See You poem ... so awesome to hear!

haha, Fictional was the best part!!! Truly a GREAT humorous write, my friend. Here is a really funny one. There was a guy waiting for an interview and he was in a small space waiting. The guy next to him farted and then got up to leave. At that exact moment when the other guy left, the interviewer came to get the poor guy left looking like the farter. This story was told to me by an ESL student in a paper I had them write: My most embarrassing moment. Oh, it was funniest thing I ever heard.

Oh how embarrassing - you need to read my 'Lettuce pray' one of my very early writes which is to do with farting in a way lol - that was my embarrassing moment lol:-) hugs jan xx

I write for the contests for fun Andrea and certainly don't enter all of them - a win is a bonus and means greater exposure if we get on the winners list but to me the joy is actually writing :-) hugs Jan xx
