I do have a cause though. It is obscenity. I`m for it. Unfortunately the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it owing to the nature of the laws as a matter of freedom of speech and stifling of free expression and so on but we no what`s really involved: dirty books are fun. That`s all there is to it. But you can`t get up in a court and say that I suppose. It`s simply a matter of freedom of pleasure, a right which is not guaranteed by the Constitution unfortunately. Anyway, since people seem to be marching for their causes these days I have here a march for mine. It`s called...
Smut!
Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can`t shut,
If it`s uncut,
and unsubt- le.
I`ve never quibbled
If it was ribald,
I would devour where others merely nibbled.
As the judge remarked the day that he
acquitted my Aunt Hortense,
`;To be smut
It must be ut-
Terly without redeeming social importance.`;
Por-
Nographic pictures I adore.
Indecent magazines galore,
I like them more
If they`re hard core.
(Bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties,
samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything!
More, more, I`m still not satisfied!)
Stories of tortures
Used by debauchers,
Lurid, licentious, and vile,
Make me smile.
Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime.
(Let`s face it, I love slime.)
All books can be indecent books
Though recent books are bolder,
For filth (I`m glad to say) is in
the mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd.
(I could tell you things about Peter Pan,
And the Wizard of Oz, there`s a dirty old man!)
