Cicer arietinum

I enjoy Hummus
But it’s very sad
That after I eat it
My farts are so bad

Chickpeas are nutritious
Fibre and protein rich
A vegetarian staple
But the farting’s a bitch

They are not only smelly
But also quite loud
If farts were a virtue
I could feel quite proud

But as farting’s frowned on
In society
I’m careful to time well
When I partake of chickpea

They say there’s no farting
If they’re soaked and rinsed well
But I’ve tried that also
And my farts are still hell

Calentita, Falafels
And all kinds of stews
The results are the same:
Field artillery let loose

It is just so unfair
That this versatile legume
Causes farting so dire that
It’ll clear a whole room

I hope that I’ll find
A solution to this
‘Til then I’ll endure
Or just give them a miss.
