Bite Your Tongue

Say something insulting, in your head and not from your mouth. 
If your as straightforward as a blog and you can't care for concern...
Bite your tongue.

Eat with patience and not with more. Your teeth can hurt not just themselves but how you talk. Grind your taste to slow enjoyment but please, don't...
Bite your tongue.

And save your screams for a happy occasion that brings joy or fright. But don't give yourself away in the presence of danger. dreaded man keep silent and bite your tongue you frightened child!
