Damn and Blast
We try not to swear; it isn't nice
I have been guilty once or twice
Why are some words offensive to say
Who decided it would be this way?
What was the origin of these foul words
That offends the ears when heard.
Blasphemy is a mortal sin,
What a position to be in,
When something or a body upsets me
Silence is the remedy,
I know this for damn sure,
Until I vocalise and tell them more
Swear words have a way,
In expressing words best not to say
Words that seem to have a place
When nasty folk get in your face
I have rattled on and on.
I still haven't learned where these words come from,
But it seems to me they have found a place
With the bloody human race.
