Written with love for Trudy

Certain things despised by me without a doubt:
foulest elevator farts that no one wants to own,
tasting garlic from their gas, I gag and shout,
"Farty creep, I think you're rotten to the bone."
Very much detest commodes that overflow,
more than that I loathe the floating feces, though.
Really hate to step in stinking piles of poo,
squelching shoes or boots becoming pungent too.

Hello John, Congrats on POTD. I'm guessing Trudy has a good sense of humor. This is pure, unfiltered disgust dressed up in verse, and it works, oh so well! Autumn Blessings, John, Daniel

That is certainly a vivid and passionate poem! You've tackled some genuinely disgusting subjects with great energy, and the truly funny thing is last night I dreamed of an overflowing commode...oh what a mess it made!

Tom Woody's "I Love & I Hate" Contest! I see you left out the love part of the Rispetto, perhaps the title shall be enough? Smelly poetry not my cup of tea, but love the word 'squelching'. They squelch our protests & attack our beloved cities with armed military. Posse Comitatus Act is supposed to protect us--it stinks. POTD congrats! :)
