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” © Bart Breen 7-17-2001 never try to teach a pig to sing |

I appreciate your openness and your courage for tackling a topic most want to pass silently in the wind. Let's put the FUN back into Dysfunctional. |

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 If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? [This message has been edited by Tracey (01-20-2002 04:45 PM).] |
