To curse or not to curse
Obscenities are nothing new.
I have been known to use a few.
Sometimes “Dear Me” just will not do.
If painfully you stub your toe
it’s very hard to stop the flow
of all the rudest words you know
Although you practice self control
don’t use bad language on the whole.
Sometimes you slip and let it roll
But overused it lacks effect
it does not do as we expect.
It has become a speech defect.
I do my best to show restraint
but I admit I am no saint.
