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! 08th Oct’ 2013

Hanitra, that's what he is at times. Only that he's no longer growing up. I'd would expect his head to sort of swell a little bit.

Can't say it enough; just a cool style you have. Wait, that sounded like Yoda lol. Another cool piece from an immensely talented fellow; kudos, my friend! :)

Hie Archaic. We daily interact with such fellows who, with a sip, they are up-side-down! I take in moderation or a little more, but I keep my head up-side-up! Kudos! JM
