Sometimes Words
Button up your metaphors;
Zipper up your lip.
Shoot from any place you want
Other than the hip.
Writing what you really feel
By some will seem a crime,
Especially when posted
Like your others, all in rhyme.
Don’t express conflicting views.
Follow the advice
Of staying on the sidelines
And avoid all thinning ice.
Sometimes words can make a point
That’s better left unsaid
And on occasion, poems are better
When they aren’t read.
