It has been a running joke in the Whalley household over farts in jars (Clair was in on it too) so for Christmas it was decided that we should hand out festive farts. I created a fart in a jar (needlefelted with wire frame) and Clair wrote a poem:
Searching for the prefect gift for you
Some socks? A tie? They wouldn’t do!
Looking in places both near and far
I finally found this fart in a jar
Be sure to keep the lid screwed on tight
Releasing that stench wouldn’t be bright
Made from sauerkraut, baked beans and more
It’ll knock you out – clean on the floor
It needs no water, food or care
Just that little glass jar of air.
It’s only job to remind you of food
That once eaten – will make you quite rude.
As you can see they got a good reaction!
I also made Bob a ‘make your own fart in a jar’. I decorated a jar of sauerkraut with a label on the back that gave the steps:
1. Eat sauerkraut.
2. Place jar beside butt
3. Fart
4. Close lid swiftly!
