An F-Word Limerick

The F-word might be the perfect word. “Really?” you ask. Can you think of another four-letter word as versatile? It’s a noun and a verb, and if you put an “ing” on the end of it, it becomes the universal adjective and adverb. Put an “er” on the end of it and it says how you really feel about someone.

Ok, it’s technically a swear word and when kids learn it and use it, there are consequences for that – at best a scolding, maybe a bit of butt paddling, at worst, a bar of soap taste test. The irony there is that the f-word is most likely on the tip of the kids’ tongues when mom and dad are handing out the punishment.

There was a time not that long ago when you never heard it in a movie or on television. Now it’s at the point where it won’t be long before Disney and Pixar animated characters will be dropping F-bombs in their stuff. It will be literally and figuratively a step backward for the entertainment industry as they go from G rated to F rated.

Look I could ramble on about this word but all that would do is lead you to a WTF – but it did lead to this…

It’s a word that covers so much.

It adds a colorful personal touch,

And in every form

It’s fuzzy and warm…

Conveying attitude, annoyance and such.
