Weird
Exclamations
A new exclamation is needed
something less vulgar
yet just as accurate
That leaves out cursing
and the simple gasp is too outdated
It surprises even me to realize
despite my disbelief
the Christian gods escape my mouth too often
and always in the wrong context
All the classic phrases sound silly
taken literally
Screaming's not right
I'll save that for broken bones
and heart-ache
When I need to exclaim
forgive me
It may sound weird
