Cursive
I swear I hate cursive,
though I write it all the time.
Try not to use those words in vain,
when they pop into my mind.
The handwriting is on the stall,
In sleazy restrooms all the time.
When number two I do,
sometimes in perfect rhyme.
I epithet under my breath,
to make a silent point.
If they knew what I really said,
they’d throw me out of the joint.
So what's a poet to do,
when these words pop into view?
I just grin and bear it,
and let it all hang out for you.
A little alliteration always helps,
to shed light on the scenes.
Peter Piper picked his pecker,
in Poughkeepsie, soiled his jeans.
I try not to use God's words too much,
only when they come with ease.
"Judas's Priest!" I often shout,
so much better than saying, "Geez!"
You say that cursive is just handwriting?
And not writing bad words to make a rhyme?
Nevermind.

The Handwriting on The Stall, bugs me, too.
Schools are not teaching it no more - so what can we do?
There will come a time when folks who know cursive will be rare.
Yes people who don't know it will check it out, stop and stare.
Then we can make big bucks for that scribble we write.
If we live long enough, our talents will be out of sight!
Thank you Ron! I have another poem to post!
Cursive writing is a curse for those who are not good at it and a blessing for the ones who sem to have the flair...I belong to the former lot who is not blessed with a good hand, and in exams they have passed me only because of what is in my head! 'Pathetic is the term you can use for my cursive hand'
Cursive writing , rest in peaceJK
I've learned the cursive writings too, but have seldom used it. It is even less used now since I normally turn to the keyboard daily for my writings.
As for writing cursed words into our writings, many authors are guilty of this; and some are even very famous best-selling authors!
Enjoyed your post!

than a cursive curse
written in the head.
It would be just sitting there
With nothing to be read.
Loved it! When I worked in the factory, I was known as the shit house poet. My claim to fame.
