We’re always taught in English lessons That in language, less is more So why say ‘lady of the night’ When you can just say ***** Why on earth say ******** When you can just say **** And why on earth say ‘faecal matter’ When you can just say **** Why say ‘gluteus maximus’ When you can just say **** Saying ***** instead of **** Is a total ******* farce Saying ****** *********** Instead of saying **** Is a bit like saying ‘waterborne bird’ Instead of saying ‘duck’ Why would you say ‘I didn’t enjoy it’ Instead of ‘it was crap’? And why say ‘could you please be quiet for a moment?’ Instead of ‘shut your ******* trap’? That last one’s a bad example It appears forceful and rude I suppose the point I was trying to make Is that swearing ain’t always crude If you think a lack of necessity Is a reason not to swear Then prepare to ****** all unnecessary things From out your tender care Chuck away your scatter cushions And candles you’ll never burn If you don’t throw away your cookie jar This debate will be adjourned For a lack of true necessity Doesn’t make something offensive Cursing has too many critics That’s why I’ve come to defend it And if you disagree with me Prepare to bare the brunt You may think I’m ****** But I think you’re a ****
