Soap

Gotta wash my mouth out with soap
Too many words I gotta say.
I know I should be silent,
But they just won’t go away.
In truth my mouth is quite clean,
So please don’t be mean.
I care for it with words
But not ones to cause hurt.
The teeth are pearly white,
And the gums are healthy pink,
But why do I hardly reveal such a lovely mouth, 
you think?
