Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

It's Only a Word

Shitty is such a cute little word
I chuckle each time I hear it
Even words like crappy or poopy
Really don't even come near it

Shitty is such a silly expression
Who was first to utter this phrase
Some poor soul who ws really ticked
Or a dude describing his malaise

Shitty can turn conversations to fun
Serious things take on a new light
When someone utters "that was shitty"
To describe an unpleasant night

Shitty's not used by sophisticated folks
They find it vulgar and naughty
If one of their kids utters that word
They're punished and end up all snotty

Shitty is such a humorous word
Can't help chuckling when I peruse it
But after giving it much consideration
This ain't the best place to use it!
