In "these days" I consider
it luck, if the the movie
I stream doesn't use F-word.

In the "good old days"
I'd get a back hand hit,
if I ever said S-word.

My grandma, would give a,
Biblical slam, if I muttered,
D-word.

Someone's fetching a switch.
if I called, my sister a B-word

Yet in the "old days" I
do recall my black
friend, braying like a
donkey, calling me H-word,
and we would snicker, when
I called him N-word.
In all "ages" some words, are better off, not said or heard. This was to be The last line, but then it would rhyme. My "good old days" child abuse, and racist words, remembered thru, colored shades.
I know, I took the time, to not make it rhyme.
