Frequent Flatulence


                                              




Frequent Flatulence
Never stood a chance.
Urgently erupting,
Loudly in your pants.

Friendly Fellows,
Meet up at the zoo.
Frolic at the ape house,
Takes the blame off you.

Frequent Flatulence,
Darn digestive tract.
Struggle with momentum,
Before the next attack.
 
Fancy Footwork,
To the nearest loo.
Carry extra undies,
One pair just won't do.
 
Friday Function,
At the old age home.
Through aromatic hallways,
Unsuspecting you may roam.

Frequent Flatulence,
Trying to look cool.
What's that floating near you?
Better leave the pool.

  4. This is very clever. The zoo is such an appropriate setting because it's a place that showcases animals abiding by their body's natural instincts.

  6. Oh My Days, that was so funny, loved it. And the fact about 'extra undies' was hilarious, ha ha ha. If those monkeys in the zoo could talk, I bet they'll have something to say on you blaming them, ha ha ha Keep it up Empty Nest Insider.

  7. RPD - No, no this was all about "friendly fellows" meeting at the zoo. What have those monkees been telling you? Thanks Rum-Punch Drunk!

    Bushman - It's much better than the alternative. Thanks Bushman!

  8. LOL This post of yours is totally different, totally unexpected. I have to remind my husband about being careful with his beans and Dal (Pulses).

  14. Hahaha, that's a great poem! It reminded me of an engineer who would give us a serenade at any time in any place, but mostly at the office. And he wasn't old but he was BIG.

  23. Funny stuff!
    True story- I was a maid in a hotel with a pool. Everyone always waited til the last minute to checkout on Sundays. Except one Sunday. A floater caused everyone to vacate rather quickly.

  24. Hilarious! No other word for it!

    ReplyDelete

    Mark - It's sad but true for many of us. Thanks Mark!

    Lee - Who was it that said " write what you know?!"

    Ruth - Eeew, that must have been awful!

  27. Oh, you're daring! But the odd thing is, I was reading A-Z posts and finding them so boring, I switched to YouTube and was watching farting videos . . . and then, after dredging through about another dozen A-Z posts, came upon yours. So, here's to you for stepping so far out on an edge, and funnily! I'm your newest follower.

  35. Hi Julie - excellent poem ... just the kind of thing kids would love to recite again and again, while falling over themselves with laughter ... I wonder if your poem will take off round the world?

    great fun .. fun frequent flatulence ... cheers with nose pegged closed! Hilary

  36. I'm sitting here -by myself- snorting with laughter.

  37. Julie this is too funny!
    It reminds me of the learners at school. When somebody "does the deed" and nobody knows who the culprit is, then suddenly you just see a whole group of kids pull their faces, pinch their noses etc. Then they all turn to see what the teacher's reaction will be. I then proceed (with a straight face, mind you) to explain the importance of taking a mild laxative during the school holidays... the kids try to keep a straight face, but by this time they are giggling non-stop... and I have a private "internal" chuckle...

  38. Oh, this made me laugh! I'm so glad I've found your blog! The title sucked me in, since my nest has "overflowed" into neighboring cities and states, as well. This as well as your fish story made a believer out of me! Keep writing; I want to keep reading. You've got a new follower and friend!
