Jeffry Cohan Poet Quintain (English)

Why Not To F-- -- -- -- -- G Lie

WHY NOT TO F*****G LIE

If you want to know why I love you
And why I do the things you make me do
I could tell you that I know precisely why
But that would be a mother f*****g lie

Day after day I’ve had  one simple request
And after those days I require quietude and rest
Because day after day I want to talk of our future alone
Alas the past is your master so the reason I still love you remains unknown

I know for certain I love you but I don’t know why that should be
Because you are the selfish one when you blame things on me
I should, by all rights, leave you far behind
But you and I both  know I’m not that unkind

What I am sure of is most men I know would have bid you goodbye
And wouldn’t care how long and loudly you cry
So if you want to know why I still love you 
I haven’t got a god-damned clue

Black Eyed Susan May 16, 2011 at 7:15 AM I've read this poem before and liked it, cursed words are not! Freedom of speech baby! Plus, why read the poem that has cursing in its title, if you don't like cursing? I guess we have a preacher on site! I say, holy roller, roll away...
