I'Ve Got Snelly On My Shoe

My muse today sends me to
         a curious debate
Who decided naughty words
         were naughty, who’s dictate?

Why only four letter words
        And why not five or more
It would still be cursing
        With a longer word, for sure 

Wouldn’t the off color word
     (It rhymes with sit), it’s smelly
Be just as effective, saying
     I don’t give a snelly!

Why can’t snelly be the word?
     Would that not work for you?
And why are bad words, bad at all,
     I’ve got snelly on my shoe!!

There’s words that stunt and roll off the tongue with a curt shh and a grunt. That is why we say things like oh sugar, fudge, and now oh snelly! :):):)
