Why, how positively sappy

very nice, stand up!
I'm just jealous, I'm sure!

The last thing I wrote for somebody was a poem to our friends asking them not to swear in front of our kids, which I framed and hung on the wall, like, 20 years ago.
They all thought it was fVckin pissa.

here's how it went:
When you visit our home there's one thing you must do,
please, try to refrain from swearing.
The reason for this is clear and it's true;
Our children have excellent hearing!
They'll be sure to repeat any bad words words you say,
Repeatedly, and to any who'll listen.
Then they'll be sent to their rooms for the day,
and the tears in their eyes, they will glisten.
So have a heart friends, and take our advice;
Watch your language, it will be repeated.
If you can do this, it would be very nice,
and our message here won't be defeated.
Corny
and ineffective!
