RESPECT YOUR ELDERS

Don’t be unkind to Grandpa
If he should let one rip.
Forgive him: he has phony teeth,
An artificial hip.

His eyes have plastic lenses,
The cataracts to cure;
His gait’s a little wobbly -
On stairs he’s not too sure.

But still, he hath intestines
That function very well,
So, please to cut the guy a break -
Old Farts may sometimes smell.

  1. Is this an Ode to a house guest?

  2. No, it is not. I was inspired to write it when I farted in the shower the other day; the business about the artificial hip and unsteady gait was sheer embellishment.
