Gosh-Darn Pols!
I haven’t lived in California since I graduated from Cal Arts a zillion years ago. And when I read stories like this one about the California Assembly’s silly anti-cursing bill, I’m in no rush to go back. And certainly not to Sacramento:
Gosh-Darn Pols!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
California Assembly’s decree:
The first week of March is “cuss-free.”
So don’t fret about health,
Or pine for lost wealth,
Cuz your pols are protecting you. See?
Update: After writing this, I ran across this interesting post on the same topic by Seth Frederiksen, who’s originally from California. And there’s more information about the bill over here at skippy’s.

California’s a *hell* of a place.
Its *damn* budget’s been blown into space.
And with language so clean
They can’t say what they mean:
(May you suffer a violent embrace!)
Who the hell are they in C.A.
My free speech must be in their way
I’ll cuss when I feel
My rights they can’t steal
What the fuck the say I can’t say?
Who the hell are they in C.A.
My free speech must be in their way
I’ll cuss when I feel
My rights they can’t steal
“What the fuck?” they say I can’t say?
This Bill is intended for good
Cain’t talk like y’all come from the ‘hood
We think you sound crass
With your heads up your @$$
Our law now tells you what you should!
That language is only for fools
That’s why it got banned in the schools
Fire teachers at fault
Should class come to halt
‘Cause some homie don’t follow roolz!
Just don’t listen in when we meet
You might hear some things indiscreet
Don’t let it go round
We think you’re all clowns
For sending us back to these seats
I’m shocked and appalled by the language in all those limericks. :)
