A Real Stinker

Dedicated to Jan Allison

A REAL STINKER

Medically speaking, all humans have movement of their sphincter.
Eruptions of sphincters can cause disturbances of epic proportions.
    Your fresh squeeze, young and delightful, may utter a proof that
sensory brains indeed moved to a higher atmosphere from the rear.
The scented sphincter will not easily dissipate, can’t wait just a sec -
       the sulfuric scent can linger longer unchecked. Clear the room
   for if you enter in too quick, a sign should really appear, quite like
       the caution of the Parisian catacombs, the stench of dry bones
              quaking under the sphincter’s attack - a real stinker in fact.

His date was afright as he grew green, sped to his brother’s house,
familiarity threw open the door then onto the bathroom lickety-split.
                                  That roaring relief catapulted to new heights,
                     as a little boy’s voice leaps from the tub, “Uncle Dan!”
                              (Name has been changed but the laugh is reel
                                as the paper unwinds over or under -
                        no one cares when there is a great deal of thunder)

Disagreeable relations lean in
to hear the tale again and again,
        until one has to go…real bad
