You Will Not Be Beaten


You Will Not Be Beaten
By Lord R.e. Taylor

Too many times
Something happens
You just have to say something
Most words do not seem right
Swearing seems to be correct
The word cannot be too wimpy
Nor can it be too strong
So, you practice every word
Trying to find just the right swear word
Eventually you just give up
And ‘gosh darn it’ comes out
Then you just walk away
Knowing that swearing did not beat you
