PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I felt guilty since my dog hadn’t gotten a new toy in a couple months.  At a CVS to pick up some memo pads and vitamins, I see a little squeaky toy.  I decide to purchase the toy for the dog.  I throw it in my backpack.  I still have to go downtown to visit a couple brewpubs.  I’m riding the subway to get to the next destination.  I back up against a pole just so.  The pressure causes the squeaky toy to squeak.  People are looking around for the sound.  I’m also looking around trying to act like I don’t what is happening.  I almost felt like I was trying to hide a really brutal fart.  You try to be all nonchalant and act like nothing happened.  And in my effort to be discreet, I accidentally backed into the pole again and cause another squeak.  Like a double fart, this is now awfully hard to get away with.  Shrugging it off won’t work so you have to just laugh about.
