The Buffeting of the Buffet

The feast was colossal; I’m not really grumbling. I’m just feeling docile, except for the rumbling. To put it it discreetly (I could be succincter): I fear it’s completely defeating my sphincter. --- Written 16 Dec 2018 for the "Succinct Treat" poetry contest. Also entered in "Rhyme Battle XII" contest.
