Poems - Birthday Surprise
| | Birthday Surpriseby realrhoda
My boyfriend treats me oh so well
My birthday dinner was the time to tell
We feasted on gourmet Mexican cuisine
You know, with plenty of spices and beans
But that’s not all, oh no my friends
He then had more elaborate plans
He whisked me away to his lovely home
Said he had a surprise and placed a blind-fold on
Anticipating a special gift, I acquiesced to his request
He stood me in the center of the room and said to wait
He’d be back real soon.
I heard him bounding up the stairs, it was dark and so
Quiet, I assumed no one else was there
By now those beans I enjoyed during dinner
Were fighting inside and beginning to simmer
Feeling the pain of gaseous digestion
I longed for an outlet for all this congestion
Thinking no harm, alone in the dark
I just let it go, “Kaboom” and a spark
What a relief but an odor remained
I flapped out my coat like a bat on the wing
Thinking all’s well I began to relax
My boyfriend returned and eloquently waxed
How he did love me and it was time to reveal
The surprise for my birthday the blind-fold concealed
So, off with blind-fold, on with the lights
What I beheld- an embarrassing sight
For there all around stood family and friends:
“SURPRISE” and I WAS!
No more birthdays since then

Hysterical realrhoda  . I must admit I have heard the joke before, but I think it was absolutely brilliant how you were able to make it into a poem. Best wishes.

G'day Rhoda...
You witty bugger. I'm chuckling away here. I'll bet everyone who was there still remembers and talks about your birthday...
Thanks Rhoda.

I never heard it before... Got a kick out of it... All I know when the light came on... It was not me... And where is the door... BWP... James... I like to blame it on the dog... And not the frog...

Aww..Rhoda, you are what my grandpa used to call a "Corker!" Someone who had cheek and wit who made him laugh. Come to think about it..it was ME he called the "Corker" ha. Not sure about the "wit" part, with me, though.  I had to come read this that you referred us to at the Sock Hop in the pending Slams. It didn't disappoint me. Gave me a good giggle..while holding my nose! Really hillarious poem girlie! Thanks for the fun!

I am so glad I found this poem before i wrote a version of it myself! My dad, (Lou), used to tell me this joke about a man sat at the dinner table waiting for a surprise birthday gift- it was the same thing really except the farting bit was more drawn out and numerous, but the punchline was...'and his surprise was twelve guests'. Him telling me that joke is one of those childhood memories that always makes me smile and I swear I was about to write it! This is so weird! Cheers Rhoda- sorry I've not read your work for a while...been busy and doing the random thing, take care and thanks for the memories, spence

realrhoda, A great, and very humorous write. And even more so, if the story was a real event. But either way, I thank you for the smile on my face. TSP
