Some Lady

I try not to use expletives,
When I get in a stew.

Swearing is not ladylike,
It's not the thing to do.

Perhaps I am no lady,
Because all too quickly I find

When I see unfairness
These words spring into mind.

There are no curse words in the Apache language, so I dislike hearing profanity; my late wife never used it - except during in labour!
