-Unwritten Process


There is an unwritten process in the book of flatulence 
For when it is passed
Firstly, if there is a dog in the room
Naturally, it was the dog who did that blast 

Next in line are children
When an awful smell wafts by
Of course it's one of the little angels
Which they always and forever deny 

Lastly it is the men 
Who simply bear no shame
When in the company of women 
Without question they are to blame 

As for us delicate creatures called ladies
We would never blow a foul trumpet tune
If by the slightest chance it ever came to fruition 
It would be the lovely aroma of sweet perfume

Haha. So true!! I never did it around other people. But as I've aged, it sometimes can't be helped. But they smell like perfume, so who cares!!

But some of us men know the truth, Deb. Some say ‘Garrgh.. you disgusting freak’. Some of the more gentlemanly among us, pretend not to notice. We just hold our breath until we can find an excuse to go outside… and breathe. But which one am I???
