The Four Letter Ventriloquist

What was that you said? Was that an expletive I heard?

                    I’m the dummy here, ask yourself, that’s absurd!

 I distinctly heard you say a naughty word that rhymes with fit.

          Then you heard incorrectly what I said, and that’s not it!

There you go again, with that word that rhymes with bell
           
             Wow, this is mixed up today, are you not feeling well?

Sit and tell are what I said, I am in charge here!

         Next, you'll be accusing ME of drinking your last beer         

If you don’t watch it Buster, you’ll be so much firewood

Then just where would you end up, without me, you’re no good
 
Well then, you had better watch your words, now don’t be dumb

      Says the man with dental work and whose mouth is numb
