Can I Say Bleep On Tv
Can I say BLEEP on your show?
"No, that's not allowed."
Why not? It's not a bad word.
I'd think I could say it numerous times,
Like, BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP.
"Stop that, it'll just be bleeped."
Well then, can I say smegma
Or at least shorten it to smeg?
"I don't know what that is."
It's is a lot worse than BLEEP
I'll tell you that.
"Isn't it just a made-up swear word
Used by Lister on Red Dwarf?"
As point of fact it's not
I wonder how they got away with it
For so long
When I can't even say BLEEP.
"Then what is smegma precisely?"
Roughly the male equivalent
Of female sootikins.
Can I say sootikins on tv?
"Sounds harmless enough."
Great.
