Then, of course, there was Kenny Everett with his "Cupid Stunt" character! For those of us old enough to remember.

I always think of Derek and Clive at the football match recorded in deep darkest horror and highly desirable to myself and musician friends who had no fear of the esteemed word. They satirized it by using it in that way and I think that suits it nicely. Just my view, not a judgment in any way. Nicely rounded verses David. Ferris sadly doesn't seem to be posting now.

Kate G,

Thanks for the wonderful comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have read reports on how good swearing is for medical and psychological purposes. Amazing isn't it. Have a great day.

Interesting, David.
I had a poem on here removed by the poetry police ( “Upskirting”) about men trying to take photos of women’s cunts.

Love it David... and the conversation the piece has generated. There's quite a bit of research to back that those who swear have improved mental health, or that it can reduce sensations of pain to swear when injured. I'm always fascinated to think that, what many consider to be the worst swear word, is actually a euphemism for a vagina. Yet, it's not nearly so offensive to say cock or dick. It's interesting the power that we assign words and symbols. And great that you are writing words that challenge. ?

Hey Big Sal,

I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it thought-provoking. It's interesting to see peoples reaction. I will search out Ferris Taylor and read some of his stuff. You hit the nail on the head with people picking and choosing their words that they find ofensive. I think that's the great thing about poetry, It means different things to the reader.

We should do a podcast on it lol.

I don't know if you were here to remember him, David, but Ferris Taylor once wrote a poem talking about men having cunts for eyes. Provoked some of the funniest shit I've ever read on this site.

In a year being on this site I've seen more people protest the word 'cunt' than you could shake a stick at.

The funny thing?

Not one of those people has EVER ONCE protested the use of the 'N' word, the word 'spic', or in fact any other word that their political agenda does not grace. People like to pick and choose the words that offend them. If one slur is acceptable and full of martyrs, then why is another not?

Great, thought-provoking, entertaining piece. Brought me enough enjoyment that I was barely able to write this comment without laughing myself.??

P.S. I love that pic. Creative usage!

Thank you for reading my poem CUNT! Such a powerful word isn't it?

I expected a range of critic from all walks of life on this poem. It has worked beautifully thus far. The fact it's sparked a range of comments has made me smile. The poem did it's job in such an incredible way. It provoked feeling, conflict, reaction and response.

Life is poetry - poetry is life.

David - in your world the word is obviously completely acceptable, so tell me...do you use it on and/ or to your four sons, or in earshot of them? And how would you feel if they started to use the word?

Personally I am totally opposed to the use of the word and I think people who routinely use it do themselves a disservice and demonstrate a lack of vocabulary.

I tend to think of the word in the context of D.H. Lawrence and "Lady
Chatterley's Lover". Otherwise it is merely indicative of someone's
opinion of another person in an extreme form, used and heard in
certain situations and circumstances best avoided in the first place!
