Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Answer Is Blowing In the Wind

I let it slip away, oh dear
I’m blushing, I’m truly ashamed
But I farted in the staff room
Guess, my diet must be blamed!

My new healthy plant based diet
Of brassica, pulses and beans
Means my bloated tummy bulges -
Clothes are straining at the seams!

I’ve tried eating charcoal biscuits
And I never eat refried bean curry
But my gurgling gut now warns me
I’ll have to exit the room in a hurry!

I’m adamant I won’t eat meat -
I’d never touch chicken or pork
But with all the veggies I consume
Maybe my bottom requires a cork!

John Lawless May 25, 2023 at 5:21 AM Jan, this is a step up....at least you didn't P O O P. I don't know about the cork, if enough pressure builds up someone could get "cold corked".....(oh no, he didn't just go there) Thanks for adding a bit of humor to the contest.
