Tell me a word <br />that you've often heard, <br />yet it makes you squint <br />when you see it in print! <br /> <br />Tell me a thing <br />that you've often seen <br />yet if put in a book <br />it makes you turn green! <br /> <br />Tell me a thing <br />that you often do, <br />when described in a story <br />shocks you through and through! <br /> <br />Tell me what's wrong <br />with words or with you <br />that you don't mind the thing <br />yet the name is taboo.<br /><br />David Herbert Lawrence<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/conundrums-2/
