I Think There's Been Some Mistake...

I've just been pottering around, trying to find the copy of 'The Farting Contest' with which to begin a serious poetry corner here, and re-discovered a little carved Indian box. In it is a small package of crumbled bone matter, and on the outside is a certificate which announces 'This is to certify that 'Sammy', the dearly loved pet of Miss Hurley was collected from Charter Vet Surgeons and cremated on 18.8.95'. I've never known quite what to do with the box, so it's wandered around with me, being discreetly stored here and there for the past 11 years and, while not being too concerned about being re-named Miss Hurley (I can imagine that the vet's mind was focussing on the fragrant Liz in her heyday), I am concerned about the contents.

The dearly loved pet collected from Charter Vet Surgeons should have been 'Sunny', since equally dearly loved Sammy was buried in my garden in Saudi Arabia in 1984... :unsure:
 
No! I found all kinds of stuff which I didn't think I had any more, Lee, but the rhyme eludes me. It is rather a fine epistle in the style of Shelley or Byron:

"Now, I'll tell you a story that's certain to please,
Of a grand farting contest at Shittam-on-Tees... "

I have a feeling I gave a copy (which now might be the last, inadvertently) to someone on this forum. If they know owt, and still have it, perhaps they could type it up for a larf.

"Where all the competitors in various classes
Were arranged by the beauty decreed of their arses... "

(Or something like that.)
 
Is it this one, Jon?

The Farting Contest

I'll tell you a story that is sure to please,
Of a great farting contest at Burton-on-Tease,
Where all the best farters paraded the field,
To compete in a contest for various shields.

Some tighten their bumcheeks and fart up the scale,
To compete for a cup and a barrel of ale,
Whilst others whose arseholes are biggest and strongest,
Compete in the section for loudest and longest.

Now, this year's event had drawn quite a big crowd,
And the betting was even on Mrs. McDowd,
For it had appeared in the evening edition,
That this lady's arse was in perfect condition.

Now old Mrs. Jones had a perfect backside,
Half a forest of hairs with a wart on each side,
And she fancied her chance of winning with ease,
Having trained on a diet of cabbage and peas.

The vicar arrived and ascended the stand,
And thus he addressed this remarkable band:
"The contest is on as is shown on the bills,
We've precluded the use of injections and pills."

Mrs. Bingle arrived amid roars of applause,
And promptly proceeded to pull off her drawers,
For though she'd no chance in the farting display,
She'd the prettiest bottom you'd see on this day.

Now, young Mrs. Porter was backed for a place,
Though she'd ovten been placed in the deepest disgrace,
By dropping a fart on a Sunday in church,
And disturbing the sermon of Reverend McGurch.

The ladies lined up at the signal to start,
And winning the toss, Mrs. Jones took first fart,
The people around stood in silence and wonder,
While her wireless transmitted gale warnings and thunder.

Now Mrs. McDowd reckoned nothing of this,
She'd had some weak tea and was all wind and piss,
She took up her place with her arse opened wide,
But unluckily shit and was disqualified.

Then young Mrs. Porter was called to the front,
And started by doing a wonderful stunt,
She took a deep breath, and clenching her hands,
She blew the whole roof off the popular stands.

That left Mrs. Bingle who shyly appeared,
And smiled at the clergy who lustily cheered,
And though it was reckoned her chances were small,
She ran out a winner, outfarting them all.

With hands on her hips she stood farting alone,
And the crowd stood amazed at the sweetness of tone,
And the clergy agreed without hindrance or pause,
And said, "First to Mrs. Bingle, now pull up your drawers."

But with muscles well-tensed and legs full apart,
She started a final and glorious fart,
Beginning with Chopin, and ending with Wing,
She went right up the scale to God Save the King.

She went to the rostrum with maidenly gait,
And took from the vicar a set of gold plate,
Then she turned to the vicar with sweetness sublime,
And smilingly said, "Come see me sometime."
 
I read yonks ago of a music hall act where a guy just farted and think it was headed ' petamania ' ( spelling )
He performed in front of royalty and was very well known in his day. ;)
 
Le Petomane was Joseph Pujol, a nineteenth century French music hall performer whose speciality was farting his country's national anthem, among other tunes. For modern day audiences Les Petomanes were a couple of flatulent Frenchmen played in silent movie fashion by Reeves and Mortimer, whose farting caused toupees to fly off, feathers to be blown off ducks etc..
 
That's the one, Pee - did I give that to you when you visited Brighton, or Arsecot? I'll have to copy it out because I can't find Mum's copy of it at home. Glad it has been recorded for posteriority! <_<
