Chicagoetry: Blame My Mother For The Swearing Thing

BLAME MY MOTHER FOR THE SWEARING THING

Wait: blame
her

father,
Joseph

Francis Mahar,
of Long

Branch,
New Jersey (Grant chilled there).

Too bad
I found out

about his
"Special

Gift." WOO-HOO! Mom:
just keep

saying "it's
only

a poem
. . . (HE'S A GOOD BOY!!!)" . . .
