What becomes of the broken hearted?

[Biggus]

This tale is of once upon a time
That happened not so long ago
When a man proposed to a lady
And the lady in question said no

Now you might have expected
The man to be broken hearted
But he lived happily ever after
From the moment that they parted

He slept as long as he wanted
Watched sport on TV all day
Drank from dawn till dusk
And ate every kind of takeaway

He wore comfortable clothes
And socks with his sandles
And broke wind when he wanted
Sometimes over lighted candles

But this story did not end well
For his lifestyle affected his heart
He died of a heart attack at thirty nine
After a particularly violent fart

[Stain]

Haha! that was great.
Good job :)

This is as deftly handled as most of your rhymed and metered verse and as funny as many of them, but I missed a sense of post hoc ergo propter hoc in that final fart.

Haha! I definitely laughed at this one. Did you have the song in mind when you titled it?

[Biggus]

Thank you all, and yes MS i was thinking of the song so appologies to Jimmy Ruffin for that.
