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.
