Better not publish



I am a stinking degenerate
I have a really filthy mind
Reading words my writing generates
Might just cause a person to go blind

I get a sick and twisted kick
Designing my scenes in the nude
Using words like tits, ass and dick
Things you generally think rude

    I LOVE IT! Not for it's literary value; that is something history will have to determine. But for its humor and its wonderful take on the ridiculousness of what we consider proper versus vulgar. And, do I detect hints of a rant against censorship here?
