Why do people say it,
Say that four letter word.
My friends use it,
Acquaintances use it,
Strangers use it.
It is so disgusting to hear it,
Hear that four letter word.
It has been a while since I was there
And that word was used,
But people still say it
Say in front of me.
Why do people keep saying it?
So I say to you all
Please stop saying that word,
Saying that word in front of me.
That four letter word,
That word spelt W O R K.

Haha, Andy...this is exactly the kind of bait-and-switch humor I enjoy. You keep the tone dead serious until the reveal, and suddenly the whole thing flips. Loved it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you Tristan, very much appreciated.

I long for the day that I no longer have to w**k Goldfinch.
