The Buffeting of the Buffet

The feast was colossal; I’m not really grumbling. I’m just feeling docile, except for the rumbling. To put it it discreetly (I could be succincter): I fear it’s completely defeating my sphincter. --- Written 16 Dec 2018 for the "Succinct Treat" poetry contest. Also entered in "Rhyme Battle XII" contest.

He he, good to know I'm not the only one who still gets those 6th-grade scatological giggles. :-) Thank you!
