We don’t need no Moderation

We don’t need no verse control

No literary prohibition

Exercised by Woke Patrol

Hey, Censor!  Leave our verse alone

The ghost of Mary Whitehouse stands guard over all.

 

Self-appointed, they defend us

Assiduous in moral toil

For fear a naughty word offend us

Which makes us all break out in boils

Hey, Censor!  Leave our verse alone

The ghost of Mary Whitehouse stands guard over all.

"For fear a naughty word offends us
And brings righteous retorts to the boil..." ??
Having expressed my own view in a comment on a post from
GS, I will say no more. But I always enjoy a bit of Don Quixote
in literary action.

You’re not suggesting the Lib Dem’s do exist, are you, Stephen?
And thanks for the Likes Holden and Stephen A.

I think we all need a bit of moderation, John. Otherwise the Lib Dems would not exist. (Perhaps I'm getting the wrong end of the stick, which brings us back to Mary Whitehouse).

Neither, I’m afraid, MC. Just a purveyor of old-fashioned pornographic tripe. (Psst! Wanna buy some dirty postcards?)

Were you on those anti-Lord Chamberlain marches back in the day? 😃 Or was that you I saw on the jury in the Old Bailey
when Penguin Books got all that free publicity for "Lady
Chatterley's Lover"? Just checking!!
