The F Word

 

When you don't know what to say

use the F word

when your vocabulary is limited

use the F word

when you are a celebrity and famous for nothing

use the F word

if you are a comedian

a rock star

a movie star

a so-called activist

use the F word

it will fit any occasion

just drop it in like a bomb

it is used so much

it has lost its power

it's cool

it's not hard to spell

it's easier

than trying to express yourself with real words

it's also lazy

but it beats thinking

and by the way

what would your mother say?

I do know stacks of A words
A cat sat on A mat
But don't know any F words
And that my friend is that

I know a lot of TH words
THat cat sat on THat mat
But don't know any F words
And THat my friend is THat

THat cat just shat on THat mat

F----- it

Although I use it in real life (bad me), I don't think I have used any profanity in my poetry. Some do overuse it, and it can be very unattractive or even offensive, whether spoken or written. Sometimes, though, there is no other word that is as appropriate as the F word.
