I met a girl
she came from California.
It was in a dream
we knew each other instantly.
She was a little freckled girl
from out of
my high school past.

We talked
a really detached situation.
She said years ago
I was so shy
she thought I was gay.
At this point I kissed her
and put my finger to her hole.

I don't know why it was
that I would think of her.
I made a couple of puns
about her name that made me blush.
But her softness in tone
made me feel all right.

All I want to do

Thanks again, as I was telling Mummy Chunk, in 1982 when writing these
poems I
was highly influenced by 1950s Beat poets and 1980s punk rockers.

So please excuse the foul language.

Referring to a woman's vagina as a "hole" is considered both offensive

That's why I apologized for the foul language in the poem.

But the *language* (the word "hole") isn't offensive.  What's offensive
is how you *used* the word "hole."

So you can't say that you've used "foul language."

Since it's your comment that is offensive (not any of the individual
words that you used in making it), it is your comment, not the
"language" that proved "foul."

The correct way to express it would be "I apologize for my offensive
remark."
