Why is Fart
a word we can't say?
Despite the fact we Fart
countless times each day.
"Expel gas"; "have flatus"
The terms O.K. to use
But to avoid the word Fart
doesn't serve to diffuse
The smell and the noise
when one slips out
Whether silent but deadly
or odorless and loud.
Is it all in the word
or is it always pestiferous?
Is flatus benign
while a Fart is odoriferous?
A Fart is indeed gas
better out than in
Noxious and noisy
but certainly no sin.
It's socially frowned upon
to rectally groan
So it's best to enjoy Farting
while sitting alone.
But if one sneaks out
during a meeting or parting
Simply play dumb and say,
"Who the heck's Farting?"
If there are two
so it's obviously you
Say, "Don't be embarassed,
I do that too."
To talk about Farting
or flatus or gas
The words are synonymous
as long as not passed.
If you Fart quite a lot
you need not despair
It means you're quite wealthy:
a self-made million-air!

Here comes the bride all dressed in brown,
It used to be white but she crapped on her gown.
Her comes the bride; she looks pretty smart,
She stopped in the aisle and let out a fart.
There runs the groom because he heard the boom,
He's heading towards the door,
He never smelt that brand before!
