The Joy of Farting

We act as if it’s truly rare
To just lean back, and expel air

And then we ostracize the schmuck
Who dares to step upon a duck

We roll our eyes in shocked dismay
Whenever someone’s butt may bray

When truth be told, we all may pass
A little surreptitious gas

For debutant or an old geezer
Have all ripped a royal cheeser

We drop the rose and scurry on
And snicker when the frown is drawn

Yet who among us can declare
They’ve never passed some rancid air?

That house of glass still surely stands
For one whose derriere is bland

So put aside this false bravado
And stock yourself on avocado!

Eat broccoli and cauliflower
Beans and cabbage by the hour!

Drink your beer and carbonation
Vent your bowels throughout the nation!

Don’t hold it in and bear the pain!
Let methane fly and damn the shame!

Shout it strong and shout it loud!
I can FART and I am PROUD!

But if you feel there’s too much gas
Remember that this too will “pass”

ROTFLMAO!

My husband would love this!  As he has so eloquently said, "Love me, love my farts."

I appreciate your openness and your courage for tackling a topic most want to pass silently in the wind.

ROTFLMAO. The poem is so funny, and the replies are priceless gusts of poetic praise.

Canuckster,
ROTFLMAO, okay I'll confess that you can find this in my library! Too dang funny.

Not even snobs can avoid,
Music for which they're so annoyed.
But I dare you at work to post,
This brazen little roast!

ROFL....Canuck, I thought you were gonna hold this one in...but I guess the pressure got to great...

This is a beaut, and got me curious about Ben Franklin's treatise on farting.

What is this farting that you speak of? I have never experienced this farting thing.
I think maybe it’s something that only guys do

'Better be out than be sick' my brother in law used to tell us when he was polluting the air LOL

This is just a great peace of work, it will make me giggle all night.

Thanks for the humor Canuckster, I just love it.
