The Professional Farter - Le Petomane

Ted was a professional farter and at his windy recitals he’d boast that could even toot Moonlight Sonata If his wife fed him baked beans on toast! There was an annual farting competition Held in downtown Chicago, (the ‘Windy City’) Ted had pre-loaded his guts for the mission To lose his title would be such a pity Ted knew that the competition was stiff His groaning guts how they gurgled away He farted an exceptional guitar riff hoping he’d be winning the trophy that day Ted raised his left leg and let rip But disaster was about to strike His todger got caught in his zip The searing agony Ted did dislike Limping off the stage in great pain Bitter tears fell from his blue eyes He re-adjusted his trousers again Could he retain that coveted prize? Now Ted returned to his farting position With the microphone close to his tush And with determination and good nutrition He farted all of ‘Mystic Rhythms’ by Rush The audience gave Ted a standing ovation (Lucky for them they weren’t too near the stage) And much to Ted’s delight and jubilation The judges thought his farting was all the rage Ted was eventually declared the winner And he returned home to his lovely wife She’d prepared chicken curry for his dinner To safeguard his job for the rest of his life! 06-30-17

Hahaha! There should be a few spin offs on this sustained poop poem, Jan! And I'll bet there are poop competitions too! Thanks for enjoying my take on Mozart and Wallmarts, it came to mind this morning while having coffee at my local café! - M

Jan, I'm starting to worry about you:)Lol This is not a healthy obsession. On second thought maybe it is. It is said that healthy people pass gas at least 8 times a day. Believe it or not:) This one's a real stinker! Can I breathe yet?
Allison Avatar
July 1, 2017 at 1:58 AM
I've read it's 15 times a day Daniel! An obsession, no lol but it is a family sense of humour on my mother's side we find this stuff funny - my aunt and uncle both wrote funny poems especially limericks so I guess it's in my blood just taken many many years to come out:-) hugs Jan xx

This was a real gas Jan. You should toot your own horn after this. :) This was funny, really funny for two reasons, the farting story for one and I just realized that in the movie Blazing Saddles which featured a funny farting scene...the character of the Governor played by Mel Brooks was named LePetomane. And now I am sure that is why. : )
Allison Avatar
June 30, 2017 at 3:36 PM
I had such fun with this one and yes I recall the scene from Blazing Saddles and there was also a film called 'le Potomane' which starred Leonard Rossiter:-) You know me Chris - I just can't stop the poop poems from flowing and this is one of my personal favourites lol:-) hugs Jan xx
