Onward steed! Warrior Hamster said with a snap.
The rooster stepped in doo-doo and yelled out “crap!”
Hamster did not care, he had heard bad language before.
It was part of how hamsters talk when they go to war.
How would you describe a real man
One with muscles uses bad language like damn
Well slap my knee
They sit down to pee
With his normal image of pushing a pram
How would you describe a real man
One with muscles, uses bad language like damn
Well slap my knee
They sit down to pee
With his normal image of pushing a pram
Extend your love and cover all
Let for your love the World fall
Show true concern and express
Use deep affection and impress
Let your love be clearly shown
It must be first made known
Choose words that heal mind
Cure injuries by being kind
At no time use any bad language
As it causes maximum damage
Let your mercy work like fountain
Let deep love be your sole captain
The kindest words that you utter
Must make mind and heart better
Avoid negative usage of anything
As only temporary joy, it will bring
If you can boost the World's morale
Your life will never at all turn stale
If spreading peace is your sole aim
A place in all hearts, you can claim.
don’t stop caring about nothing ~ you’ll just become twice as negative

A rundown duplex in an old inner city place
The walls smeared with dog in an outright disgrace
It smelt of no hope and no future for her anyone more
The neighbours complained of loud music and bad language behind her door
We were called one evening and she answered to us
Bleary eyes and drunk she wondered at the fuss
The scars on her face a sad story told
Of a car crash that maimed her in drink and speed story so old
Photos showed there was a time when she was a good looker
Gone now forever living life as a low class hooker
When she spoke it was slurry and blubbery
Wanting something she couldn’t have in a horror story
We turned the music down and said it had to stop
In a useless charade they was all that we got
So we left to go back to the world
She remained there a lost soul with little left to be held
And alone she lived on in this downtrodden place
In filth as a struggle with no time or grace
I wrote on the log in upper case
Music turned down AQOL NFPA in the appropriate place
Once and a while we had to go back again
For a similar job and a result that would never an end.

BAD RESOLUTIONS
Be good, be kind, help those along the way.
All good resolutions I’ve made on New Year’s Day.
Don’t do this, don’t do that, do know right from wrong.
Resolutions I have never kept for long.
Every year I’ve broken them before the end of June.
So, now I’m old and grey, I’ve changed my tune.
Only bad resolutions this new year,
Like lots of smoking and too much beer;
Using bad language and being unpleasant;
Telling rude jokes when ladies are present.
I’ll do what I want to, it’s all about me.
Oh, what a wonderful year it will be.
No, only joking, I don’t think I could.
So, once more this year, I’ll resolve to be good.

A Little Knowledge
My son just started big school and now he knows it all
He says that all the laws are made by bloody Sid E. Hall
We frowned at his bad language and that made him assure us
He’ll speak a lot more better with a book by Theo Saurus
But one surprise he got at school, the first day he went there
TV was invented by a chap named Yogi Bear
He’s not quite sure what happened to make Louis Armstrong Kneel
But one small Schweppes for man seems a pretty lousy deal
He had a suit with lots of space, his eagle landed steady
It seems he might have taken off the cape of Ken and Eddy
A Vulcan interruption killed a town back in the day
They blamed it on an Englishman... but they made that Pom pay
There’s a film about a fish and all the cash it swallers
So my son’s doing a project on A fish full of dollars
He says, ‘CDs and downloads should all be thrown away,
don’t you oldies know that music’s gone vinyl today?’
I guess my son is full of it but that’s made me recall
There was a time when I was young and I too knew it all
Halloween Sonnet
It's Halloween, that spooky time of year,
when scary monsters prowl the streets at night,
those freaky ghouls make me shiver with fear,
in costumes that give me a dreadful fright!
Pumpkin lanterns cast a dire, eerie glow
as eager children arrive at my door;
Candy offerings on them, I bestow,
while their excited eyes say, 'Give me more!'
Sometimes older ones take it much too far,
playing mean tricks when they don't get a treat.
I'll find eggs splattered on my house and car,
and hear bad language I dare not repeat!
Children celebrate on this festive day
and dress as specters who've come out to play!

A thought about the times that we are living in"
JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!
Who wants to go to Heaven when you die, can I see a raise of hands? Well, would you do what God’s Word says you have to do to get there?
Would you take care of a sick child, take groceries to a poor family, would you give your blood to the Red Cross? These are all good things, don’t you agree? Do not use bad language, do you support your family That DOES make you a “good” person but, that isn’t how you get to go to Heaven! We annot "work" our way to Heaven, it doesn't work like that, otherwise JESUS would not have had to come to save us.
The ONE and ONLY way to HEAVEN is accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOR and accepting HIS sacrifice for you and your sins. JESUS HIMSELF said, “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, (NO ONE) GOES to the FATHER but by ME!
Why not accept HIM today, you will never be sorry if you do but, if you don’t you will be sorry when you die!
P.S. Don't wait too long, HE is coming soon!
God bless, Marilyn S. Jennings
In my day there were both good guys, and bad
The good guys always won, and the bad guys had
So when they were captured they went to jail
And justice was always served without fail
That’s how we learned wrong from right
And blood and guts were kept out of sight.
Now everything displayed is seen so bold
And our world is portrayed to be so cold
Nothing but killing and violence on TV
Games have villains killing all they see
Even the press seeks out murder and gore
Violence and looting, and so much more
With bad language spoken, as if it’s OK
Vulgar words written online every day.
Must we always see the worst side of man?
Listen up! You can change, Oh yes you can!
It will begin with one person at a time
Even though it seems like an uphill climb
One act of kindness, or kind word to say
And with that, we can show others the way!
One can live out his life with no baggage
but may hang on a rope to stay alive
a site seem as weak, bags out bad knowledge
to put its life in a box and deprive
from big cuts to acid lips, the damage
fun’s in the air, she only sees the jive
the one with the whip uses bad language
Poor lamb, joys not for the bull to arrive
with all the pain, luck yet has a say
a huge bill not from her, yet she must pay
a time to hit this foe will come someday
cos of her, rage from thin air flys faster
bad lips spit, even to her kid sister
she has to wake up and dry this blister.
Altos and sopranos
Blend - songs
Are heard in the distance . .. . . . .. . .
bass and tenors sings songs of joy
Noises...(pleasant noises to be precise)
Musical noises increase in volume
Some people talk and sing at the same time
Some are having the time of their lives
Then...something breaks the innocence of a professional choir -
Bad language! I bet you didn't expect that, did you!?
People speak freely now
It's as if the teacher is saying, "Go ahead, class, and cuss all you want now!"
Very loud - the commotion is banging at my ear drums
My ears are sensitive to the noise
Yearning to hear songs instead of chit-chatters
I wanna hear music, not the latest gossips!
Songs and noises get my full attention in a good and bad way . . .
Just sayin'. Now, I'm hear payin' the price.
I'm obeyin'. Now, can I roll the dice?
I have a favourite Nazareth tune.
When I sing it I must sound like a loon.
"Hair of the Dog" is the one
I sing out loudly for fun,
But the bad language makes some people swoon.
Never a day goes by that i give praise
to the name of one who raised
me up from a state of sorrow
and gave me a sight of a beautiful tomorrow
Where the world is in a state of malice and panic
and too many times they take things for granted
ant in their hearts an evil has been planted. They need
the Lord's help to supplant it, all the pain and anguish
and the constant use of bad language out the mouths of
the youths of every age like animals in a cage with their eyes
filled with sadness and rage,all i can say, is people let us pray.
For those that need a release,pay to the Lord for peace
I'm not gonna say this once, i'm gonna say this twice and
with all my might, i'll say this alright.
I GOT LOVE FOR GOD,I GOT LOVE FOR GOD
