I Shoulda Said That!

In the heat of prior confrontations,

My tongue, well then, was typically tied.

Later, with all the right conjugations,

Well then, my tongue, so easily replied.

CURSES, I Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda said,

But, no one heard, as I softly mumbled.

Cuz, all the right words, dancing in my head,

Tripped out of my mouth, completely jumbled!
