Swearing
If you want to make a point
the point that things 'aren't fair.'’
why don’t you express your self with a little expletive
and go ahead and swear.
And don’t just say; “O deary me, O golly gosh,”
if you’ve really made a blooper.
You’ve got to let it out with all of your might
and swear like a blooming trouper.
For even the kings and queens swear,
their language isn’t always clean,
for there comes a time in every ones life
when you have to use a few words ‘obscene.’
And so I’m imagining now that you’re probably thinking to yourself;
“O I really don’t know if I should.”
But I say, a little swearing never did anyone any harm indeed;
it might even do you some good.
So go on, let it all out,
not every thing’s fair in life.
Just make sure that when you do,
you don’t get into strife.
