What was the word that Bob Swagman omitted,
the one that seemed destined to rhyme with "rack off"?
It seemed that Bob Swagman had fully committed
to rhyming this phrase, so why did he back off?
Maybe he left us that big rhyming chasm
fearing the powers-that-be would eject him
were he to mention a self-made orgasm?
The powers, however, would mostly respect him.
That's what a censor can do to our freedom:
make us reluctant to ply our vocation.
Come, let's use "bad" words whenever we need ‘em.
You can't master verse without masturbation.
