Not All Tongues That Wag You Gag

Not all tongue that wag
You dishonorably gag …

Of course not that of my Neighbor
Which assigned to itself Christ’s Labor
For it doesn’t behind lag
And will ever out ***,
While demolishing knickers that sag;
Women that fripperies drag,
Hundreds of cosmetics bag,
Fun always pokes at a hag 
Or lanes walk that zigzag 
And in the church read a mag!

The tongues that sensibly wag
Should about it richly brag,
Even as their victims nag,
Their anger rocky crag.
