Today the Teacher Farted
——by Emma Briody

Today the teacher farted.
It was an awful smell.
It was just like a rotting egg,
Straight from the depths of hell!

She tried to keep it secret
By sitting in a group.
But it was really obvious,
When she said, "Who did that poop?"

She screwed her bright, red face up
And blamed it all on Claire.
But later when I needed help,
The stench was round her chair!

She avoided my eye contact
And ticked my work in green.
（国外老师改作业可以用绿笔的）
But she knew that her body smells
Were foul and quite obscene.

I asked her what that smell was.
She said she'd not a clue.
I hope to God that eggy smell
Was fart and not a poo!

Today the teacher farted.
My word, what had she ate?
I'll always remember what she did,
And now I'm thirty-eight!

除了是一首打破老师权威的搞笑诗作外，这里还提到了关于“臭”的好几种说法。

首先，smell，虽然smell可以泛指气味，但做动词时也可以特指发出臭味，意思跟stink类似。比如：He smells. 他身上臭臭的。也可以说He stinks.

stench，恶臭，如：The stench is unbearable.

foul，气味恶心的，如：foul breath.
foul，也可以指腐烂的，如foul meat。
