Why is it that some folks get furious,
And lapse into language injurious?
This descent into swearing
Is quite overbearing.
A habit unpleasant - but curious.

Who here displays prediliction
To loud, uncontrolled malediction?
If memory should fail ya
The term's coprolalia,
A serious mental affliction.

Ill winds can always be found
at times, and in places, they abound
Be we can have fun,
ill winds,we can shun
If we don't hear them, do they have sound?

The thread is called Wordplay and Fun,
And nobody here is a nun!
A limerick by nature
Is ribald nomenclature,
So the prudes can go soak in the sun!

who's that knocking my back door?
what ever is he doing that for?
To my chagrin,
he forced his way in!
OH My! OH me! i might end asking for more!

In private my comma was dropped,
I see, now, I shouldn't have knocked.
But my prediliction
Is to come through the kitchen,
Though the door, there, is so tightly locked!

Remember Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack?
With silver buttons all down her back, back, back?
she met up with WO'N.
her buttons are undone,
and they're together now in the sack, sack, sack!

By limerick I lose my addiction
This doesn't match any prediction!
It's not written in sand
That I'll be an old hand
It's a fact, truth's stranger than fiction!

Helen's completely correct:
In a dialogue of intellect,
Swearing and shouting
And spewing and spouting
Are ill winds one cannot respect.

So remember who was guilty of it,
And remember too who rose above it.
For the good of the board
Which one should be ignored?
And which one should be told to shove it?

Words written in sand are so fragile
That their fleeting employ must be agile,
From 'addict' to 'old'
Naughty habits grow bold,
Tellin' time, "In my heart, I'm still bad, chile!"

----------------------------------

Congrats! No more 'addict', dear Connie!
Your 'old hand' is cool, well-earned, and bonnie!
We will never grow bored
With the joy you have stored,
Boy, those mushrooms must make you real goney!

(and for ending like that, I'm 'real goney', too!)...well, try to find somethin' else to rhyme with Connie and bonnie, go 'head!
