Words are everything.....Think

A Foot in Mouth By Franklin Price 9/24/2017 A foot in mouth is easy The First Amendment says you may Chokes you and tastes awful Always there, for what you say Do not let the words flow free Even if the President Cannot make the words return To the place, from which, were sent Remember what old Teddy said, When you think you should attack Walk softly, but carry a big stick Before you speak the smack When speaking to another And before your words are sent Where will your foot be headed? Yours or the President's
