Mute It

What causes those daft in the head
To hurt others with things they’ve said
If you must then vent
Your jealous intent
Perhaps you should mute it instead.

Gosh, this is considered your BEST poem at Soup, and to think I never even saw it yet. I agree. It's one of your BEST! (but maybe not THE best) In time, I will know whether it is or not, when I have seen all your poems!!

Oh my gosh ... really???!? It certainly isn’t near my best lol. It was more of a lighthearted joke !! I guess it got more views than anything else ... but that is really funny!!

Yes indeed...but, I suppose, we have all regretted, at times, having spoken in haste; I think its known as -- "having put my bl..dy big foot in it"! Ah well...lol. My best regards, Judith. :) john P.s congrats on POTD! :)

I like this limerick Judith, brings to mind what I used to tell my kids' that if they had nothing good to say about others, then say nothing at all'. Besides I believe in Karma, 'what goes around comes around', people should take note of that....Maria... Hugs

Judith S

November 2, 2017 at 9:03 PM

Thank you Maria. Yes ...children, and everyone actually, should heed this great advice! Appreciate your reading. Best, Judy
