Pc Correctness and Words

I find as I get older
I have to censor what I say
I can't say that a happy man
Seems very, very, gay

I never got the memo
When certain words were made taboo
I never got that message
I' missed that one , did you?

My Nan would send my brother
To the shops to get her fags
I know we aren't allowed to say this
I've been told by P.C nags

I remember the old story
Of Black Peter and St. Nick
Now you can't say either one
or you'd be branded quite the prick

There, I used another one
Prick, somehow made the list
Has anyone seen the memo
It's the one note that I missed

You must call someone Richard
You cannot call him Dick
Damn political correctness
Just brought me back to prick

If you sit and watch the telly
you can't put your feet up on a poof
that gets us back to gay again
The PC folks would hit the roof

Don't start me on Brazil nuts
Remember what we all called those ?
If I put that down in writing
I'd be PC'd in the nose

Men and Women are all persons
This PC stuff just makes me sick
But, just look at them both naked
There, I've worked back round to prick

It takes the fun out of saying swear words
You have to censor all the time
There might be a PC zealot
waiting for a language crime

So, in closing let me tell you
And I will do it with some class
They can take their PC memo
And shove it up their....buttocks (I think is the term used nowadays)!

Thanks John. This PC stuff has gone too far. It's sad to see society following the lead of so many thin skinned individuals who take offense at everything. They spend more time looking at the negative side of life that they are missing out on the positives. The older generation had it right, I miss those days.
