HE HAS LOST HIS MIND
POST ON IRAN UNWIND
SWEAR WORDS YOU WILL FIND
Here's a tribute from me to you,
Recalling the old pet cockatoo,
His very vivid vocabulary,
Cathartic swearing, so funny,
He rose at dawn, would greet the day,
Sat on perch, screeched away,
Acquired language eagerly,
Nothing polite from that old he,'
Shared his emotions with us all,
Ended each day with his call,
Sleep tight now, so suitable.
Good night, bird beautiful.
Pretty perky green parrot repeats each word
Owner Pat makes them up, they are absurd
Chickapickylicky slickyconcly curd
Guests give strange looks to the odd-sounding bird
Don’t ask me says Pat I don’t understand a word.
The year is over so I promise,
in fact insistently I swear,
I will not drink, deceive or gamble
or swear.
Precision swearing they call it
A term that may sound absur
But it’s economical with the breath
And wastes not a single word,
It rolls smoothly from the tongue
Instantly relieving pain
And, in the case of mental turmoil
Relieves stress and strain.
Better for use in private
When one can really let rip,
Out in public one feels
One should really keep a grip.
No perverted back street cursing.
No random state of mind
No ranting and raving
Of the common peasant kind
A selection of eloquent phrases.
Not all of them in general use
All carefully, precisely chosen
To avoid any language abuse.
An unappreciated form of therapy
That is readily there to explore
A bout of precision cursing
Satisfying to the very core.
Throw away your tranquillisers
Throw away your happy pills
A bout of precision swearing can
Remedy so many common ills.
There are so many grotesque allusions on us
that we lost ourselves in identity ... let's examine.
The list,,,
Leg Canes,
elephant calves,
belly that is tripe
mud trough,
plank foot,
mouth of pocket,
flapping ear,
lynx eye,
goat eye,
horse teeth,
dog face,
seal mustache,
fire hair,
cockroach blood,
puffing mosquito,
chicken stick
beard beard,
monkey brain,
catfish head,
pigeon breast,
steel nerves
Coco Horse,
monkey brain,
pig snout,
pig spirit ...
horse face, .. and a number of ...
There are so many orders that impose us
that we don't even resemble people .. if we collect
everything, we will be uglier than Frankenstein ...
I wrote this Haiku
It has swear words in it
Not too hard to spot
Each Swearing, One Day More, Just One Day More
Moon was waning, much needed sleep gaining
both lovers tired of heartache explaining.
One cried, there is the exit door take it
I alone will surely fair well, make it.
Other lover cried, yes, I bet you could
with the guy, that has been chopping my wood.
There is the door, why don't you just take it
I was real my love, I didn't fake it.
Silence stood hard, from naked truths given
both lovers needed to be forgiven.
Then sleep overtook both their warring dreams
soon would come morning sun soft golden gleams.
They dressed, then ate and kissed at the front door.
Each swearing, one day more, just one day more!

Sonnet, (Love and Regret, Chained Together),(Sad Lives)
Note- Written about two people I knew them both many decades ago.
Over 40 years now and they are still together.
Seems they each learned to forgive and lived happily after all.
Love is also about forgiveness and endurance....
This little poem is filled with swear names,
Swear names that are really quite lewd,
From Bummy McBumbum to Cocky McCock,
These names are really quite rude,
And if Ms Yucky Poobum offends you so much,
If it makes you want to go do a dump,
Remember there’s one name that’s worse than the lot,
And that is the President Trump.
SWEARING
~~~~~~~~~
swearing in poetry literally lewd
seven years of army life, no prude
but even way back then
swearing was locked in my pen.
innuendo if meant, it too is crude
No profanity please. Even Shakespeare swore.
Swearing
Words of spite
Unattractive pattern
Abusive system of control
Mean words
