ORNERY CUSS

by @brent-kincaid

I like cussin’ I even researched the word. It ain’t cussin’ There’s an R that is not heard. We’re talking of cursing, The taking of God’s name in vain, Back when it was blasphemy. Those days will never come again. It ain’t the same way Like it was back in those times When spitting on the sidewalk Was a jailing crime And black people had to walk Down in the gutter. There were words back then that Decent folks didn’t utter. Well, I ain’t religious. I don’t go to any church at all. It ain’t that I am evil; I’m not riding for some fall. But there are times Like when you hammer your thumb That saying “Oh fudge!” Sounds just plain old damn dumb. I am not sending Anything or anyone here to hell. It’s just helps To say hell or damn or fuckaduck When you have to yell. A shuckydern don’t fit the bill like A shouted “Shit” When you are pissed off, raving Ready to spit. I totally understand That some words have a place. Calling people assholes Can be seen as a huge disgrace. But I still insist That many times in a conversation The word asshole Just fits the momentary occasion. So, scoff if you will. I’ll try to play by your nicey-nice rules, But there are people What are nothing but fucking fools. I do hope you pardon My not liking any more pleasant words When someone says The dumbest shit I have ever heard
