Borborgymic and gurgling,
he tried to go a-burgling,
but when he snagged the diamond ring,
his eructations stole the day.
So now he watches seminars;
he's learning how to play guitar.
He even hums a couple bars,
stamps license plates for play.
Journeys have bumps; would you rather a flat soda and miss all the burps?
