Mother fuckin hot
Mother fuckin cold
Mother fuckin is our lot
At nine years old.

As I listen to the adolescent chorus
Summing up the drama of ordinary life 
With
         Mother fuckin this
And 
         Mother fuckin that
I try not to be offended. 
Anglosaxon is an honorable tongue. 
Yet every time I hear their alto voices
Chant the new incantations, 
It jars,
And I wonder what has happened 
That their mother fuckin hearts 
Are not more gentle.
