Bitter Sweet

From it flows waves of sweet charm
Sometimes it causes more harm
Keep that tongue in check
'Cause those words on deck
May set fire and be cause for alarm

Search east to west, north to south
Ere rainy season or drouth
One thing is for sure
There is a great cure, 
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth
