Dave, I feel this tension between clarity and obscurity deeply. The insistence that poetry still has something to say, not just something to signal, resonates more than you might expect. Having studied Marshall McLuhan in another life, I truly appreciate this, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Flatulence
Cheeky Missy said:
\"Beans, beans,/The musical fruit/ The more you eat/ The more you toot!
Peanut butter and jelly/Makes them smelly/Clam chowder/makes them louder.\" Good old flatulence, ahem. One of my brothers informed me years ago that if you\'re righteous your flatulence has no odor. I have particularly noxious flatulence, ergo, I\'ll not subscribe to his doctrine.
Lovely little quatrain to the rousing topic, beautifully rendered. Thank you very much for sharing.

My friend, this cracked me up. The mock-formal tone paired with the subject is exactly what makes it land. Deadpan silliness done right. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Flatulence
sorenbarrett said:
On your last topic being an old fart that wears flannel in the winter and sheds it in the summer I was latter shocked to find what I had been doing now with equivalent ignorance I stand baffled about political correctness, I never was much for political correctness anyway people are people I make no distinction.
To me flatulence is the speech of politicians.

Flannel
Paul Bell said:
I see flannel, and right away Trump comes to mind, maybe a preempted strike on Iceland, blast wrong country, hate when that happens.
Can\'t believe I took out Greenlandic citizenship to get my hundred grand, and now it ain\'t going to happen, that\'s the real flannel.
Actually, there is another flannel. The one my mum used to take the skin off my face with in the pursuit of cleanliness.

I\'ll give ya the old flannel, the waffle, the flattery. Oh yes, flattery will get us everywhere! (to reverse: Flattery will get us nowhere).
Why yes, it\'s Sir Orchi NS - someone who talks a lot without saying anything meaningful.
And - did I seem absent? I of course was here all the time, hanging around like a bad smell! lol.

It is a word that was used more many years ago Dave, meaning to hide or dismiss something that others did wrong.

Dave, this is sharp and economical. You make a case for honesty without sermon or sprawl, and the humor keeps it human. Poetry and commentary held to the same standard…clear, fair, and necessary, imho. Now, let me slip into some flannel sheets. It\'s frigid outside! 🥶 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Poetic license? or outright lies? or are they both the same? This is a topic I have not seen on this or other sites a point for originality Dave. This one has my mind going in several directions which is one thing that a good write can do. I have to ask myself is not emotion an abuse of facts? Emotion is one criteria I find as a marker of poetry. Metaphor too is far from the facts stretching it into a comparison by using something analogous. Wow Dave you\'ve got me thinking. Most mind provoking.

What in the name of common sense are you talking about eh? Flannel was our winter sheets for decades, our nightgowns and pjs, and I am aware the term also applies to the elderly in an old fashioned colloquial sense. Now, what are you talking about? Hope all\'s well.

It would be nice if we had a choice and although it doesn\'t sound that bad ya never know till you get there. Try it you might like it they say. A salesman\'s ploy that I am always suspicious of. But then I have always been a suspicious fellow. Good one Dave

Dave, this is thoughtful and gently profound. The conversational ease contrasts so sharply with the weight of leaving, choice, and cosmic rest…it makes the poem feel both intimate and vast. Before you go quiet for a bit (if indeed that is what your comment is saying), I wanted you to know I took up your \"Mango\" nudge and wrote that poem. It’ll be appearing soon (possibly tomorrow), and I hope you catch it when you do drift back through. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wry and self-aware, this poem turns punctuation into personality with real charm.
The humor masks a genuine tension between form and freedom—and it works.

I don\'t know why but it reminds me of an alternative version of Rock/Paper/Scissors that I heard:
Bull***t beats brains
Brains beats brawn
Brawn beats bull***t

Remember the days when intelligence counted and it opened doors. Not anymore, now people only listen to the buck.
The world is held to ransom with these people in charge and there doesn\'t seem any way out now.
We\'re doomed. Can\'t wait to Trump attacks Greenland, protected by fellow NATO troops. China and Russia will be pissing themselves laughing.

this rings so true -
the lobby that believes that wealth trumps intelligence is definitely the one \'trumping\' him up
and the world bears his capricious wishes - and truth hides behind silence - fearing to come out

Dave, clever and self-mocking in the best way. Craft anxiety, rebellion, and humor all collide here, and the poem knows exactly what it’s doing while pretending it doesn’t. That wink works. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
