What a Gas!

The Internet was abuzz this week;

It had to do with a possible slip.

They say that during an interview,

Eric Swalwell° let one rip.

 

The sound was caused, Swalwell says,

By a mug scraping across a desk.

The big hullabaloo has made

The incident rather Chauceresque.

 

Even if there happened to be

A breaking of wind, not so mute,

Tell me: what on earth could be

More natural than a little toot?

 

But Swalwell wants to make it clear

To anyone who might be a doubter:

The sound picked up by the mics was most

Assuredly NOT a slipper-outer.
