The Scent of My Husband

The Scent of My Husband

Did you ever suddenly
catch a whiff
of a scent that
singes the hair
of your nostrils?

A stench so foul
it brings burning
tears to your eyes?

And on this breeze
there is a hint of
giggle?

Although the lingering air
smells like the
death of an egg;

Rest assured
it's just gas
from my husband's ass.

LMAO!!!!!

Hint of a giggle?? More like full-on howling with laughter! And the more reaction you give to it, the harder they laugh. Poor Deb - though I shouldn't be laughing at this poem, because Herbie's "twin" here does the same thing.... men.... ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes.

Thank you all!

The story behind this poem is - my wonderful flatulent husband sitting on the sofa next to me while i'm on neopoet reading him poems starts to giggle, as i look at him, the fragrance hits me - HARD - by this time me and the dog are tripping over each other trying to get away. Hubby is in a side-splitting roll of laughter. and he looks at me and says "There, write a poem about that!" so i did. I'm glad "we" made you all smile. thanks for taking the time to read.

Oh and like you all

Oh and like you all don't! women may be discreeter and sometimes much sweeter but silent and deadly (I note most aggrievedly) attack with such stealth and are bad for the health! cheers, Jess "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" Benjamin Franklin, wonder what he would think of the Patriot Act.
