LOL... *chuckles*

This is so cute.
I'm going to have to show my husband when he
returns home Thursday.
Very witty (I expect nothing less)
I first saw it, and I thought...
food? really?
my heart sunk
but then.... I read it.
too cute.
who doesn't like like a 'flatulence" joke?
lol

Ha.ha. A long-winded review. Gotta love the English language.

Just a bit of a windy review!
Comment from Curly Girly
Lol! Very funny. If this was in a contest, you might have a winner. But of course the old farts won't vote for it!

It's pretty chancy to take on a prompt contest, blind or not. This way I can at least count on more than nine reviews!
Comment from Sasha
Now that IS funny. How do you continue to come up with these gems? You must be a hoot to live with. Great work. I just love this one.

The ideas don't come often enough. I usually think of a play on words and then build around it. Hubby keeps telling me I'm fun, but then so is he. A little bias there maybe?

There is nothing wrong with bias, he clearly appreciates your talent.

Comment from Debbie Noland
This is great. One of those 5-7-5's where every word counts. I love the well-timed way your "punch" comes with the very last word. Good alliteration there at the end too--that punctuates that ending.
But the very best thing? The fact that in a mere 10 words you are able to include imagery that is visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory--which means you have hit all the five senses.

I never thought of that, but I do try to make every word count. Thank you for the lovely six.
Comment from rspoet
Oh, those warm, chilly baked beans. Thermal heating, not EPA approved.
This is excellent in all ways. Syllables are perfect, lines connected, satori that is a breath of fresh air.
Perfect picture to poem match, framed in beans. Perfect sight, taste and touch, we'll omit the swell. I almost wrote emit, oh, well.
Well done beans
