An Offering To Dancing Man

Deep inside the cave
the tour paused
to gather round an ancient glyph
a limestone sheet
painted, pre-history
by some ancestor three millennia ago
on the left
a human shape, arms and legs extended
as if in a leap
on the right
a jagged snake or bolt of lightening
as Kelly, our patient effusive ranger
explained to us these images
the fat barking boomer of the group barged to the front
to take a picture
and as he knelt and Kelly orated
he let out a loud rapacious fart
deafening, thunderous in Mammoth's stillness
and all of us in attendance
stunned, silent, stifling laughter
thus was fealty paid to Dancing Man
by our modern day equivalent- Farting Man.
