[Dixielandjazz] Farting Redux?

[Steve Barbone]

Nor funny? Not adult? Give me a break. Should we somehow be ashamed of, or
have hang ups about bodily functions? There is more art and humor in the
following musical poem, than in most Dixieland played these days. :-) VBG.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone

The Farter from Sparta:  (excerpted)

There was a young fellow from Sparta,
A really magnificent farter,
On the strength of one bean
He'd fart God Save The Queen,
And Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

He was great in the Christmas Cantata,
He could double-stop fart the Toccata,
He'd boom from his ass
Bach's B-Minor Mass,
And in counterpoint, La Traviata

Spurred on by a very high wager,
With an envious German named Bager,
He proceeded to fart
The complete oboe part
Of a Haydn Octet in B-Major.

His repertoire?  Classics to jazz.
Improvising new effects with his gas.
With a good dose of salts
He could whistle a waltz
Or swing it it in razzamatazz

His basso profundo with timbre so rare,
He rendered often with power to spare.
But his great work of art
The fortissimo fart
He saved for the Marche Militaire.

Etc.
