American English Usage
Unsayable words are hidden
as if they should be forbidden.
If you expect to find the word fuck
you are likely to be out of luck.
     But i am likely to say for sure
     that bullshit is only bull manure.
     There are things i may never say
     on any quotidian day,
while particular circumstance
may incline me to take a chance.
English poets never say bum
for arse is where they are coming from.
     So look up your arse Englishman
     but i am an American.
