I KNEW there was something about farts in the Canterbury Tales...
Now Nicholas was risen up to piss,
And thought he would amenden all the jape;
He shoulde kiss his erse ere that he scape:
And up the window did he hastily,
And out his erse he put full privily
Over the buttock, to the haunche bone.
And therewith spake this clerk, this Absolon,
\"Speak, sweete bird, I know not where thou art.\"
This Nicholas anon let fly a fart,
As great as it had been a thunder dent;
