puritans hath been saying
that Dan stepped over the line
by using an expletive
which was not attractive nor fine

by Dan employing
that particular form of phrase
he was attempting to give
the poem a brighter glaze

whatever device of poetry
Dan needs to put in place
is okay if it doesn't cause
him a scintilla of disgrace

those who are pulling Dan
to pieces for his specifics
may need to look at their
out dated type of linguistics

for goodness sake
stop giving Dan a grilling
as he's only doing his best
to make his verses more thrilling
