Swear words in Literature
A couple walking along the road, he has got a folded umbrella
she carries a parasol. It begins to rain he opens the umbrella
and they walk on towards the plateau. Rain has stopped sun
shines, she opens the parasol, a playful wind comes grabs it,
throws the parasol up in the air and broken it falls amongst rocks.
The sun is fierce and they suffer much before they reach a tree
of wisdom on the highland – the only one- and seek shelter in
its cooling shadow and green leaves.
We have suffered, the couple moan, the tree that has books
sheltering in its crown, literature that seek forgiveness for ever
have being published; full of bland, polite words and not given
wit and humour by their creators, fall down as the tree shakes
its massive crown in disbelief and says” Why the **** didn´t
you open the umbrella?”
