Just like your Mother

Try as I might, I can never discoverWhy so many womenTurn into their mother And then if you tell them They’re just like they’re mumThey give you that lookAnd then they're struck dumb They don’t speak for a weekIf they do it’s a gruntOr they just shoutAnd call you a c**t Why can’t they take itThe way that you meanHer mothers an Angel

oh man, you are a male liberationist.

it's true that despite our poetic sensitivities both genders often find themselves on different planets. And I know you are lying, backpedaling, dissembling madly. As Richard says, no need for censorship but it is also true that cunt is the only word that consistently causes offense. Fuck, prick, dick, whatever are ok, but not cunt. I enjoyed saying that. cheers, Jess
