laughing gas

france once had a man
called Le Petomain
who had a musical bottom.

and this amazing flatulist
could apparently play
the Marseillaise
to an applause rapturous.

and here i am thinking
whether that 4 letter
english word for bottom
inside their anthem
had anything to do
with the man's art.

laugh i did.
and laugh you will.
and if you want
to get hysterical,
get on to youtube
and check for
Mr. Methane.

Funny in scope and subject with appropriate irony. Makes me wonder how tough it would be living with a professional "flatulist" practicing their art all day!
