Don't Say That Word!

Goldfinch60



I do wish they wouldn’t say it,

Say that four letter word!

It is said by family,

Said by friends in so many conversations.

That four-letter word should be banned

Especially when talking to me.

Such an awful word,

I know may people say it,

And so many do it,

But not in my life.

So stop using that word,

That four-letter word,

Which I will say once.

So don’t say that word to me

As I am retired and don’t do it!

So don’t mention ‘work’ again!

    Evokes heat sweat and pain - and that's just from the seat you were polishing...
    But I'm happy to know there are others with the same allergy as me, Andy.

                    You had me going, right up to the end. That word, which I shall not repeat, is taboo. Good write Andy, thank you for the laugh of the day, you always come through!

                      Glad I made you laugh Bella, laughter is so important in life.
