Freddie the Flatulent Fire-ant

Once apon a time, there lived a creature at home,
Away from his birthplace, and he seldom would roam,
He lived all alone though, in amongst all the plants,
His name was Freddie, The Flatulent Fire-ant.

His name had been given, back when he was just young,
The colony was all gathering, and the food prep was done,
The Queen Fire-ant attended,
a feast in her name,
After this night, it would never be the same.

After the banquet, Freddie noticed some rumbling,
Clutching at his belly, his legs started fumbling,
Trying to escape the colony filled room,
A race he couldn't win, it was coming too soon.

His eyes started bulging, and he clenched up real tight,
But this tummy upset, had one direction in sight,
Too say it was loud, was an understatement of course,
As he proceeded to power fart, just like a Bush Horse!!

After he was banished, he moved away from the nest,
And his parents set him up, it was clearly for the best,
He made some new friends, down in the lower pond,
Some friends he knew well, and that he was fond.

Garry the Gargling Goldfish, saw Freddie down near his home,
And saw how sad that he was, walking there all alone,
Garry decided to think hard, and it took a minute or two,
But he came up with a solution, he knew exactly what to do.

"Why don't you go to the doctors, and have a test to see what is wrong,
To discover if there is a trigger, to that unearthly pong",
Freddie stopped for a minute, this procedure might cost a quid,
And after a few other enquiries, that is exactly what Freddie did.

With all the tests and procedures, the Doctor had found the results,
And even if the stench was paint stripping, it turns out it wasn't his fault,
He was Mexican Grasshopper intolerant, like others who can't do dairy and cheese,
And with this new found freedom, he could eat other stuff now as he'd please.

After hearing the latest revelation, the colony welcomed him back,
He would never ever feel alone, but still receive some fart flack,
From the Fire-ant who almost killed a colony, to just another doing his thing,
Sometimes farts are not funny, especially the ones with the Zing!
