POEM - saw a poem about swearing or not?

POEM – Swearing or not.

I thought about a poem and then decided not,

It’s about swearing, and whether we can or not.

You don’t need to use those colourful words

COS’ It shows you’ve lost the plot.

Now I was bought up, not to swear at all,

but at school its learning to

well learning of a sort,

then asking is that true?

I went home with this word,

I learnt it from my friend,

And thought I was so big

I tried it on me mam.

I couldn’t wait to tell me mam

This new word I now know,

And rushed in through the door

Screaming this word as loud as I could go.

She stepped back in a shock

Her hands up to her face,

And shouted back, where did you learn that

And said Tommy, he’s out the back.

She stormed out into the back

I thought this does not look good,

Cos’ what ever she’s about to do

was completely misunderstood.

Tommy was sent home in tears

And told to see his mam,

And turned to me in tears

I broke down and fell into a lump.

She picked me up, and looked at me

I was sobbing, all the time,

And all she said was you can’t say that,

Not in these unusual times.

I never said that word again

And me and mum came closer

As I learnt a valuable lesson then

My mum should be my coach.

As a gauge I now have found,

would you say that to your mum?

And if the answer is, NO?

Then don’t use it…….

Moral of the story.

My mum is now older

We still laugh about that day.

And I now have kids of my own

dreading when my kids come home.

I know this day is coming

Its all a part of growing up.

But can you prepare yourself for this?

Well, I hope you can.

By the way the word was “sh*t” and should have said “poo”

But used the way I did,

I had a sh*t in class today?

I forgot to mention, I was only THREE,

and used the “big toilet and step” for the very first time.
