So, every year I try to give up cussing for Lent.
It has never worked.
I am no good at not cussing.
In college,
I tried every year to give up
cussing and Coca Cola.
That certainly never worked.
It turns out I am addicted
to caffeine and bad words.
My one Lenten success story
was last year:
I gave up Walmart.
I'd give up Walmart again this year
but I don't even know where one is
to give up.
I am trying to say "foo" instead of bad words.

I contend,
ReplyDeleteMy friend,
That "foo,"
Is cussin' too.
But far be,
It from me,
To judge your ass,
Out of piety.
I am posting again,
Only at a blog newly named,
I've scrubbed it of my "Freeper"
Stalkable (in)fame(y).
Indeed,
Some anonymity is a good thing,
Especially if you can't spell.

Ah, I concede to you
ReplyDeleteWhat you say may be true:
Deleting "@#$%" and Inserting "foo"
May just be cussing --
as well.
For where lies definition?
In result or intention?
Coca-cola and cussing, yes that is how I remember Beth. Why try to give that up for Lent. Those are things I love about Beth. They are part her "Beth-ness" like Earl Grey Tea, Trident Original Gum and Highlander are part of my "Spider-ness."
ReplyDeleteMy friend has a cool approach to Lent. Instead of giving up something, he takes on a new positive behavior or action; one more thing to be like Jesus. That may be giving more towards charity, or telling more people that he cares for them. Or for 40 days to not say a negative comment to anybody. (that one is tougher than you think.)
Anyway, love to Beth and everyone in her world!
