Poem - The Language of Profanity



the language of profanity, down at the pub
this tends to be more Irish, depending on your perspective
taking English and bending it around concepts
or the other way around depending on the humour
life punctuated with expletives
but there’s a breed of hoity toity fuckers
that turn their noses up at everything
sitting in their comfortable Dublin whatever?
never coming any further north than Balbriggan
and even then only for funerals and weddings
profanity something they read about in rude plays or novels
literature that was often banned
when the PP’s had the upper hand
they’d be cosy with those tramps
even though their day is done
their brand of fascist conservatism remains..
in denial
