A denial
By Phil
22 August 2008
Is this the right place?

I’m accused of writing of farting.
I deny ever penning a word
On the subject of bottom vibrating
It’s a scurrilous rumour you’ve heard.

I may once have written a ditty
About eating your five veg a day
That resulted in rear end vibrations –
It’s a healthy explosion, I say.

This is a very fun piece fill. Did you mean of or or, in the first line? 
 
It was rhythmical, which is always much more fun to read and some good use of diction. I haven't heard scurrilous for a while. 
 
I'd say this poem was a healthy explosion.

It's the only line that isn't clear to me. What does of writing of farting mean? Is it like a comma or and?

...writing about farting 
 
 
I can't think why, but I was warned about writing limericks about bottom burps. I denied ever doing such a thing - but was then found out by a piece I'd forgotten about.

Don't deny it, Phil just embrace it. You do it so well. 
I mean embrace the style of writing I'm not suggesting you get all anally attentive or anything. It's just that you do have knack for this kind of scatological thing. I'll bet there is even a proper name for it. 
cheers

This is very very funny, witty and entertaining like all your humourous poems are, Phil. I think Playroom standard is being set too high by fellpony and Phil's initial offerings!

Am I dreaming, or was their a track by 'Grand Funk Railroad' or 'Humble Pie' called this? 
 
Anyway, 'twould suit your purposeful purpose Phil. 
 
I can't believe I tried that silly joke . . . 
 
Bed time . . .

Enjoyed this as usual. 
 
We spent an inordinate amount of time these days commenting on our new grandson's bottom explosions, which often require a complete change of clothing not only for him, but for she who was holding him - which often was me. And he hasn't et a fruit or veg in his life.

You do like such poems eh? Saw just yesterday on Mythbusters that eating beans does indeed lead to more farting. They had only one test subject, but still :P 
 
Indeed this could well be in poetry.
