Alka-Seltzer


We were lying in bed when I farted

You suggested an Alka-Seltzer

And walked into the kitchen naked

To fetch one for me

I farted again

The girl across the street

Watched this drama unfold

Undressed and fetched her girlfriend

A glass of water and two Alka-Seltzer tablets

Even though her girlfriend was in Nicaragua

This is not an erotic poem
