Foot In My Mouth
I have a serious problem.
Of this, I have no doubt.
When you’re near, I always manage
to put my foot in my mouth.
I don’t know what it is about you
that gets my tongue’s attention,
causing me to say all sorts of things
I really shouldn’t mention.
I try to control myself
and keep my words at bay.
Yet, I continue to insert my foot in my mouth,
night after night and day after day.
I should probably see a doctor,
who could give me a prescription,
one that would help me get over
this foot in mouth affliction.
