Some Never Learn

Do you fart long and hard After broccoli or Brussels sprout And after foods fried in lard Do you miss this toot down south And feel as though with child Beyond the third trimester As tummy hates you and is riled ‘cause of taste’s and smell’s flatter? Do you? Do you roll around for hours Cursing the plate you ate And envying he who scours Recalling when you could relate? Then does it finally pass And you say never again Only to smell roasting carcass And realize words are vain? Do you? Copyright © 2011 Leslie Alexis
