The F Bomb

WriteBeLight

Here it comes!

Best get away!

I feel my nerves,

I feel them fray.

 

So, freely people,

Love to lob,

That over-used swear,

Infamous F Bomb!

 

Some throw it out,

When they feel sad.

Of course, used most,

When they are mad.

 

I feel uneasy,

In my skin.

When said that way,

I feel chagrin.

 

But, I get a kick,

I sense the laughter.

No problem here,

There’s no cringe factor.

 

It's written down,

In letters or blogs.

Or, blurted out,

When two dudes talk.

 

It’ll be in lyrics,

Right there in songs.

Then repeated by all,

From old to young.

 

But, words like crap,

Dam, Hell and Shit.

I say those myself.

Well, not all of it.

 

The F Bomb I will,

Try to disguise.

Here, I’d say,

Tasty effen pie!

 

Maybe something like,

That’s so mucked up.

How about this,

Sweet frigging truck!

 

A effen word.

Don’t get frigging nervous.

Hell Yeah! Dam It!

It serves a purpose!

 

Or if you’re texting,

F Bomb to throw,

Two simple letters,

Text them F.O.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I never say this word. But, I get such a kick sometimes listening to others while they are talking about something funny that happened. I do not know of another word used so regularly that gets such a reaction.

    Thanks for SCARING LBW. Yes indeed the F-WORD spoken ~ written or just implied F * * K is still a very powerful explitive and used by the wrong person in the wrong place it can still shock. It is a very harsh word when uttered in full invective. In the UK it used to be banned in print and on TV & radio ~ today it has almost lost its power to emphasise or shock ! I knew it was overused when I heard someone refer to the TELE~ F*C*I*G~PHONE ~ Yours BRIAN

      HA HA. I know what you mean about the dark side of the word. It has been around for a long time. There are times when it just makes me laugh, though. And, the use of it in this context can really add so much humor! Thanks for the comment!

    • Quemis

      Ha!

      I must admit I am guilt of this, from time to time, and have been desensitized to its rudeness in a way.

      Clever effin' poem! haha

      • WriteBeLight

        You are funny! It is an acceptable word in my workplace, especially used when the person saying it is very angry. But, then there are these circumstances. I find it funny when someone you would not expect to use it, does! That, to me, can be so shocking as they appear on the outside to have such a prim and proper facade. Ha Ha. Thanks so much for your comment! Merry Christmas!

        I have to admit that I barely notice when it's used, it's becoming such a common word. Very clever and witty poem, well done!

        • WriteBeLight

          Thanks! You are so right. I asked someone what they thought and they said, "Nothing. Hear it so much. Don't even notice." It is funny. Thanks so much for the comment Daniel!

            • Tony36

              Love it. The word pops up in my speech from time to time.

              • WriteBeLight

                Ha Ha. Tony! Thanks so much. I think I say it inside myself, at the appropriate time...:)

                  Welcome

                  P.S. With the warning at the beginning of the poem there was a tension created, waiting for this sweetheart of a person to drop the F bomb. That of course never happened, but added to the teasing delight of the poem.

                  • WriteBeLight

                    You are so gosh darn nice and sweet! Thanks. I thought it needed some input on my part. It is good we can add that. I especially like it when I may not understand a poet's point. I really appreciate your comments Augustus! Thanks you so much again!

                    • Christina8

                      I thought this was well written and funny. It can be used almost anywhere in a sentence. Great effin work! Christina

                      • WriteBeLight

                        Thanks Christina! It is one of those words that I have grown used to hearing. But, it is nice when sometimes people say it in front of me they immediately apologize. So I say, it is fargin OK...:) I hope you are in for a lot of fun today and tomorrow! Santa Tracker should be up and running. I am going to see where he is right now! Merry, Merry Christmas to you and your family!

                        • Christina8
