Plaese add verses as I've lost all inspiration?



Have you ever tripped in public

Or stumbled on a path

And hoped than no one saw you

And then you heard a laugh



Have you had a conversation

With a tutor or a peer

When you laugh and from your nostril falls

The greeny of the year



Have you listened to a lecture

When no one makes a sound

And your stomach starts objecting hard

And people turn around



Or you see a person wave at you

You wave and shout out "HI"
 
Then you see it wasn't you they meant
 
Embarrassed , you could cry

Yes, most of the above. 
Good one.

Have you ever clenched your arse cheeks tight 
To trap your breaking fart 
Only to leave an SBD 
That chokes and makes eyes smart? 
 
Glossary: SBD - silent but deadly a common abbreviation fom my childhood. 
 
PP, you do this sort of thing really well. Always worth a red and a smile.

THanks Steve and Phil 
 
Phil your verse is well funny. I've been trying to do a farting one for about half an hour but just couldn't get one out!!!  
SBD still used in my houshold.

Have you had a fit of giggles 
When you had to read the news? (Charlotte Green) 
Or been woken by a neighbour 
When in church you had a snozze? 
 
The minister at church asked my mother, on the way out, if she'd enjoyed her little nap.(Years' ago). But I had to keep waking a neighbour in church once, but she was in her 90s - and the sermon was a bit boring.  
 
You wrote this very well Punchy. I agree with Phil.
No - not a snozze -

Yes - quite right: A snooze. (I hope none of my former students see this!) I used to teach typing. (shhh) 
 
Ooh, I really can associate..

Have you ever dressed for work 
And felt so far advanced 
Then sneezed so hard that it caused 
Yourself to shit your pants? 
 
Have you ever dressed for work 
And strode out with all might 
To find you are a little bit pissed 
And it's the middle of the night? 
 
 
 
Have you journeyed Tesco's aisles 
And seen a familiar arse 
Say "Shift your cheeks, you great fat cow" 
And find that it's not theirs. 
 
Guilty of all the above. 
 
Thanks for the confession, punchy, and thanks for an enjoyable read - love the bogies. 
Cheers

Josie, did you really make a spelling mistake? At this rate you'll be writing poems about farts too. 
Like the verse 
 
Brett, that is so funny, did you really say" shift your cheeks,you great fat cow"? That is fantastic, did you get a slap?.
