The S Word, Collaboration With Lin Lane
I mustn’t write it in a poem
someone will moan if I do
It begins with s and ends in t
perhaps it’s a load of pooh
But if I inscribe it in a poem
someone may tell me to hush
It begins with s and ends in t
this dirty word I'd have to flush
If it's submitted in a poem
some may think it'll burst a bubble
it begins with s and ends in t
and belongs in a pile of rubble
You can't overlook it in a poem
It's obvious when you see it
it begins with s and ends in t
One word that displays no wit
When I see it written in a poem
I balk. It makes me want to puke
It begins with s and ends in t
and is the reason for my rebuke
thanks for joining me with this poem Lin, we both abhor seeing swearing in poems and will never use the s word ourselves:-)x
