Do other languages

Have as much colour as ours?

And I say ours because patently...

You can see I write in English abc

I know the French have a bit of merde.

And the Italians have their ming.

But when there’s anger in the air and English feelings want to share,

We are so colourful. And rude and crude.

And spitting oaths and swearing vicissitude.

I struggle to imagine a Scandinavian gent

Letting words go and his anger vent.

Or a polite little Japanese lady

Using the vernacular words so shady.

Do the Masai swear?

Or Africaaner  vulgar anger share?

Probably.

Yes to all of these.

Perhaps it’s just a human trait

To mix together words of sex and hate.

And use them to language punctuate

Maybe they just aim to shock and bait...

The gentle and polite.
