I think arse will get past Vicky if that's what you are worrying about, Roger.
Here's mine:
Mea Culpa
We must never, never miss it
When a usage is elicit.
We must vow, without descent,
Not to say what isn’t meant.
And incontinently press on
To internalize this lessen.
If we fail we are insane
Like the suicidal Deign.
You can easily illicit
We are all of us complicit
In the way our language went,
Its precipitate dissent
To the present ugly mess and
Our resolve must never lesson.
Doctor Johnson wouldn’t dane
To the fooleries that reign.
