potty-mouthery

Written on a dare…



Back in the day, when life was much simpler
My mother made sure she taught us good grammar
All we had to do to really impress her
Was keep away from words such as crap—among others

You surely might laugh at its simplicity
But maybe you didn't know my mother's sincerity
Words like uncouth and you should know better
Flowed like water midst trashy potty-mouthery

Giving her a real run for her money
Me and five brothers thought we were pretty funny
When all is said and done, blame it on my daddy
His sailor mouth set us up extra special chatty

And if my kids are smart, knowing what's good for them
They'll do themselves a favor and listen to their granny



…And now I need a couple of cousins to beatbox this baby.
