The S Word: In Collaboration With Jan Allison
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
This "S" word may not be what you expect it to be, but was much more fun to collaborate on the ideas of what we know it to mean. Thanks, Jan, for the inspiration.
