YUK!

 

Gunky, goopy, thick, impure;

Cloudy, soupy, sick, obscure.

Murky, yukky,  like manure,

this is the sludge of life.

 

Mucous, phlegm, sputum, catarrh,

excrement, shit, poop, like tar,

puffy, build-up, edema, eschar,

things we can do without.

 

Musty, mildew, dust and mud,

Foul, smelly,  disgusting, crud,

Fetid, stinky,  fuddy dud,

Such is the stench of existence.

 

Lying, stealing, covet, lust,

greed, dishonor, hate, unjust,

abuse, war, neglect and fuss,

the  filthy side of humans.

 

Why bother to ponder this,

Things we just assume to miss,

I think we have got the gist,

Let’s move on to purer thoughts.
