It says here in the New York Times May 22nd that a children’s bedtime story book called “Go the F--- to Sleep” by Adam Mansbach shot up to # 1 on Amazon, swept the Internet and has not even been published yet and is a run-away best seller. Everybody is charmed and delighted with the cussing that’s in the title of the book. The new rage?
Nothing to it. Here’s my book: Damn Tootin’
Just once more, little angel face,
Stamp your precious foot in a snit
You’ll find yourself
Locked in your room
Because Mommy doesn’t give a shit.
Mommy’s thrilled you copy her and say Please, Thank you and May I
in the good manners loop.
But worries each time you copy her and stoop
Not noticing Mommy’s plastic bag
As she bends to pick up doggie poop.
Pass this on to the publisher. I’ll cut you in on royalties.
