Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Blaming the Dog

My boss stopped by my house so that

She could pick up a file that I

Had worked on in my habitat

While being a work from home guy.

I'd just finished a spicy meal,

And while we're chatting, suddenly

In my lower bowels I did feel

An explosion about to be.

The gas did pass without a sound,

But quickly the awful smell came,

Filling all nostrils all around.

I told my boss the dog's to blame.

Done with my blaming monologue,

I remembered I had no dog.
