Notes About The Poem

The Art of Farting

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

You know I had to click this one (especially after our recent conversation) ... super cute, Jan. I wasn't aware this was an art form ... I know some real artists out there that haven't the slightest clue! They put their whole body into it, too, clenching their face, while lifting up their leg ... they don't try to hide it at all. Just beware of the dreaded "brown note" ...
