Poetry: The four-letter word

by Marijane Suttor

Created on: October 13, 2008

A four year old with a fetish

for four letter words

enjoyed their shocking use.

Just this morning

he said it to Grandpa

when he didn't want to

put on his shoes.

Yesterday he said it

to the babysitter

when he didn't like her soup.

Last night he told his father

his thoughts on going to bed.

When told that he was naughty

and his mouth would be

washed with soap,

he told his mom to bring

some to church 'cuz

the preacher needed it worse.
