A fine nobleman prim and sincere
Turned and asked his young lovely wife, “Dear,
an affair you deny
but, I must question why
is your thong on the Duke’s chandelier?”
His young wife turned to him and she grinned
“Oh, my husband! No, I have not sinned!
I just fell on my back
from a bad gas attack
and I broke a spectacular wind.”

yeah i guess there r

congrats!
you won!!! fantastic! I'll write you later today! -
What a little classic this is; it is enhanced by the pomposity of the final line when "wind" (meaning fart) has been turned into a noun. I shall always use the phrase "I think I have a wind on the way" in future. You get bronze for this.
-
-
It is not an original thought, "broke wind" is a common expression. I simply added "spectacular" into the mix to account for the panty propulsion.
-
-
No I think you have coined something original. Naturally "break wind" is a normalo everyday expression; but it is the use of the phrase "to break a wind" which lends this piece its poignancy. If I thought that you had meant to write that your heroine "spectacularly broke wind" I would be horrified. Next time I break a wind, I shall think of you.

You did, queen of my fan club.

I am intrigued by the note "true story", but I really don't want to know. This was a wonderful limerick, catchy, visual, and ribald. Thank you for entering this contest.
-
-
The "True Story" was meant as a joke. Just to make people wonder. I am like that.
-
-
Reminded me of Chaucer. First rate job.
-
Wow, she's got a pretty good excuse. I liked the rhyming, kept a very nice flow, and the name definitely went right along i was wondering at first xD
GREAT job

LMAO… M’Lord; Ye should truly be incarcerated to publicly display such literature. Yea, should ye be duly punished as well for showing this to me after everyone else has seen it.
Very funny and defiantly the gold winner in this contest.
Love,

I have been punished e'en worse by the ignore put upon my by God's right hand man.

I don't know... Roses on Fire has entered...

well okay then! I am not sure I know what to say about this one, but it did, indeed, make me laugh out loud. I was not expecting that and I just about fell over when I reached the end. Am not sure who this could be true of but it is a very intriguing piece none the less. I do not usually enjoy humorous poetry, I just do not feel anything dfor that style, I am more for deep and thought provoking poetry, but this really caught my attention and kept it.

Hope no one was behind her and got shove away from the wind. Windy in the halls of court.

You are too cool.....I love it! Is it "true"???

One would have thought he would have fainted from the horrible stench still lingering within the great hall by his darling beloved's flatulence.

AHAHAHAHA!!! Very creative! It's a shame I'm in class...if not I'd have burst out laughing. I didn't expect that. XD
I love how you combined a sort of old style language with a good sense of humor. Perfect flow and an enjoyable read! Seriously, I can't get over the form. Usually I see limericks just thrown together with no sense of rhyme (or reason for that matter!). This one really worked for me. Thank you for sharing this. ^_^

The trajectory is not so implausible once you know that it was propelled by a triple-flutterblast! Thanks for the comment.

Quite humorous. The wording/flow is a bit choppy but the overall form is there. Great imagination, I will have to see the contest that provoked this entry.
Keep writing. -
