An Ode to my Mouth

An Ode to my Mouth

Sometimes you're better open, but usually you're closed
I breathe through you most often, at night you make me snore
You help me seal my love, how you tingle with sensation
You help me sing like angels, after devil days have darkened
I use you every second, but you never groan or grumble
Without you, gaining sustenance would be a real kafuffle
You open up your door, to allow my voice to enter
Whenever there's controversy, you're usually at the centre
But best of all, when all around are full of pomp and style
You break their barriers beautifully, your simple, gentle smile
