Replying to a comment on:
Passing of Wind (Free verse) by Goad
(dedicated to electroman1979)
What do you feel when someone dies?
Does your stomach squirm, your gorge rise?
Do you wipe sweating palms on tense thighs?
As the rumbling noxious gases rise?
From the lost moments, the little lies
That you'll never now metabolize
Or should we feel nothing when we sever ties?
'Tis true it's good to weep and fart
When those most dear from us depart
They take from us so great a part
A treasure like the dearest art
Moments painted in our heart.
While to dust and gases they compart.
But e'en the best of friends must part.
But we dare not mourn too long in gloom
Or too long haunt a dead one's room
Be quick with mop, quick with broom
Quick your life to re-assume
Lest from their graves a foul smell bloom
For as they're eaten by worm and 'shroom
They fart like pigs within the tomb.
