“Twinkle the Little Alien Fart”

(Twinkle’s Perfume)

Hello, Twinkle, you little alien fart,

Streaming through skies like a flying dart.

Secretly telling stories, all your own,

Never once, reaching a single phone.

Twinkle, Twinkle, you little fart,

Stop twinkling with my salesman’s cart.

Peddling my wares that no one will buy,

All because your smell stings their eyes.

Oh, little fart you twinkle so bright,

Your perfume is just not right.

I hear you tell your stories just fine,

I try to listen to them, honestly, every line.

I just can’t stand your raunchy smell,

“Did you eat or drink by chance at Donnie Bell?”

Twinkle, Twinkle you little, stinky, alien fart,

Please excuse me, I must fly like a dart.

You make my insides churn; I don’t know why,

I smell your smell, which makes me cry…

I’m off to the bathroom with watering eyes,

Now, I must have eaten too much pie.

Two hours later, I’m at the mall,

Twinkle the little fart is here, I smell and recall.

He’s making it a day at the clothing store,

Trying on clothing, stinking some more!

With customers eyes and noses turning red,

They smell something bad and say, “Is it dead.”

Everyone starts running quickly out of the store,

One woman ripped her dress on the swinging door.

Twinkle, Twinkle, little alien fart,

Makes like a rocket, flies like a dart.

Going out the door, he does soar,

Never to be a stinky fart anymore.

Travels back home into the skies,

Where he can’t hear people’s cries…

Of how bad he really does smell,

With his new perfume he bought from Bell.

Moral of the story:

Even when we have unique quirks or problems, it’s important to be considerate of others. Finding ways to improve ourselves and our surroundings can make everyone happier and more comfortable. Remember, kindness and understanding go a long way.
