Nay To Reckless Speech

Sometimes, in speech we stray
With what we rashly say,
While attention ears pay
Our lips allowed their way...

Worse when our mood is gay
Or we forgot to pray,
Now to Free Mistakes 'prey'
Listener's bright face turns grey.

Speech don't make like you may;
Cigar stubbed out on tray;
Some shall like donkeys bray,
Some end up in sick bay...

To reckless speech 'say nay'
You'd be sent the sun's ray...

For you Amblessed Daniel:
This game catch like spaniel.
