Shut Mind, Open Mouth
Shut Mind, Open Mouth
When he has a shut mind
When wisdom he cannot find
He then opens up his mouth
To prove himself uncouth.
The way he runs up his lip
When taken the frothy sip
It’ll throw him into the deep
Where, forever he’ll weep.
Drawl of gossip’s idle talk
Is clay feet that cannot walk
To shout or to lose temper
Afflicts like Dogs’ distemper.
Silence’s golden, so they say
This is how to live your day
Weigh an’ scan, look an’ see
To climb the right Tree!!
* To my Friend with a pinball head!
