Oversharing

Not all thoughts Are meant to be shared Harness those loose lips Use your judgment Self-censoring is a must Channel those self-righteous comments Remarks that are distasteful Inappropriate and obnoxious· What you may find funny Or for some reason slightly amusing May in fact be insufferably offensive Deplorable and condemnable We don’t appreciate these one bit Don’t take us down that road Who are we to say but While you’re at it you may want to Re-evaluate your lifetime strategy AP: 2nd place 2020 Posted on February 1, 2020

the lips contain more filters than the mind often times...in my line of work one must carefully think each word spoken before it falls from lips... wise advice and great poem! hugs
