...berating one of my suitors. mmm I never did hear from him again after this...) 'I don't know very bloody much bout bloody love affairs,
they seem a bloody lot of strife cause no one bloody cares
if I tear my bloody hair out by its fiery bloody roots
or sit and smile in bloody rage, who'd give two bloody hoots.
You give your bloody heart and soul and bloodywell regret
your being such a bloody dill when the bloody dill forgets
he's made a bloody date with you so place your bloody bets
and never fear of losing that you're sure to bloody get
a bloody call in six months time to bloodywell say 'Hi,
ow ya bloody goin' love?' (...by train you bloody trial.)
He says some pretty bloody words and you think you're bloody right,
then he bolts to watch the footy for 'Tonight's the bloody night.'
Three cheers for bloody Windsor and up bloody Zillmere too
I hope their bloody jock straps cut them into bloody two!...........................etc, & finishes up with:
There are some compensations of a silly bloody sort.
I've got a bloody ten ounce pot to drink my bloody port,
and the bloody pill it keeps me safe for bloody rainy days,
but bloody hell I wish the bloody sun would go away.
Well there's a bloody lot of swearing in this silly bloody verse
so I think I'd better bloody learn to better bloody curse.

So Waz...although this probably won't enhance my reputation as a judge, I think it demonstrates that there's a time & place for everything & that we should be wary of taking ourselves too seriously. (I'm sure there's a well known similar 'bloody' poem about an outback town too??)
I wouldn't have the least problem with your use of 'buggered' despite my being quite rigid about the use of real vulgarity/obscenity. Go for it mate & hope you don't cop a wowser judge. GOOD LUCK!
and yeah yeah, written in a fluster pre-technical study...
