How's this for a soliloquy? There was a young man from Sparta,
Who was an incredible farter,
At the strength of one bean,
He could play, "God save the Queen,"
And Beethoven's, "Moonlight Sonata,"
The selection was tough, I admit,
He didn't stutter one bit,
His arse was aloft,
And he suddenly coughed,
And collapsed in a shower of shit!
