A List of Forbidden Words
A List of Forbidden Words
By Elton Camp
Profanity-filled writing I truly hate
But mindless censorship also berate
The same word can mean many things
From this, foolish action often springs
Any such lists, context cannot include
So legitimate usage they may exclude
“Bastard” is in history and the Bible
To forbid its use, these lists are liable
And “*****” is also a female canine
But the use of this word isn’t fine
A “hoe” is used to chop down a weed
To forbid its use there isn’t any need
An innocuous write such as this
Those websites are certain to diss
