Forget four-letter words, they don’t mean much;
As verbal punctuation, nothing at all.
Should they signal aggression, then such
A warning allows retreat from a brawl......
No forget, I ask you, four-letter words –
My focus is on a two-letter word
By which people define themselves as herds;
It’s “We” – use it, and all nuance is blurred:
\'Oh let\'s be happy as part of this mob:
We all moan together and feel we’ve done
The world a service\'; but really you rob
Your misgivings of meaning – there is none.
Ask the who, when and why of everything –
World troubles, human behaviour, specify
Who and why – then perhaps you have some sting,
And at least no attempt to pacify
Each other with a long drawn out collective groan. 🙂
Furthermore please note:
And ‘we,’ this crap word virus is spreading
From the above to “How are we today?”
My response is usually me telling
The following as I see no other way:
“I’m fine, I just can\'t make up my mind about you,
The pretext for your query a little thin.
Now you might think I’m strange, then join the queue -\"
These interactions, much to my chagrin
Are a source of stomach acid through and through.
I’ve had enough of their condescension;
And so when I end up in that wheelchair,
I’ll secrete a purloined taser about my person
And when asked give it to them fair and square…….
