Dan Cwiak Poet Couplet

That Dirty Word

There is a four letter word I use you see,
My wife says that "Ashamed" I should be.
 
I have said it so often I don't know how to end,
because of all the people I may offend.

But how do you break that habitual use,
when you've used it so much like a silly old goose?

Weekends are the worst time because that's when I say it most,
and the price I pay sometimes is not worth the cost.

My wife says to stop thinking those thoughts and it will go away,
but how can that be with that four letter word I say?

So I appeal to you my fellow Soupers for your advice,
if someone has the right idea it could make my life so nice.

I suppose you're wondering what it is I say,
that gets me into trouble along the way.

It's that four letter word that does not begin with a P, S, or a good old F...
I'm in trouble again, the dirty word is...GOLF !

Connie Marcum Wong July 30, 2017 at 9:09 PM It is indeed a dirty word for the golf window. I am so glad my husband doesn't golf. He gardens and grows herbs and cucumbers and tomatoes etc. I enjoyed your poem Dan. ; ) Dan Cwiak July 31, 2017 at 8:56 AM Thanks Connie. I assume you meant golf "widow" in your comments. I appreciate your reading it and your words. By the way, does your husband only do gardening? I grew up in a city boy and it never appealed to me. Remember too, there are such things as recreational or worker "widowers". I know from experience. lol

Jan Allison July 17, 2017 at 7:08 PM lol great humour here Dan and I am sure there are many who can relate to this particular 4 letter word. I actually turned golf into an 'f word' and wrote a poem 'flog is an apt anagram of golf' lol:-) hugs jan xx Dan Cwiak July 17, 2017 at 7:21 PM Thanks Jan. I'll have to find yours so we can compare divots. LOL (Hugs)
