For goodness sake
Writing an F Poem,
Not an effing poem,
A poem with a title that begins with the letter F.
For goodness sake,
Came to mind,
Not a phrase I hear very often
I see it in books,
For fuck’s sake seem to be its replacement.
The F bomb is no longer explosive.
It's used as an adjective, adverb,
And sometimes as a verb or noun,
As in the original meaning.
I suppose
It’s related to goodness
Depending on your relationship status
And current outlook on life.
For goodness sake,
This poem certainly meandered
Are you surprised or annoyed?
How interesting that one phrase
Can have two meanings
That don't necessarily jive.
Well, goodness me,
Words certainly are a blessing,
Aren't they.
