The Folly of Man's Mouth

So many words are spoken how much are really wise? rubbish abounds from many one day all of it just dies When one thinks of the alphabet twenty-six letters relatively few but so much tripe are developed language of filth often sticks like glue When Adam fell in sin at Eden all mankind was tainted so great one's tongue was poisoned very much for the hearts in an awful state One of my great loves is poetry but even it can't from this escape not everyone likes using pure words some like to shock committing wordrape When one considers all that's spoken the only one hears every word in full He was perfect hearing nothing amiss the living God measures His pure rule

Thanks Anne-Lise, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for spotting the alphabet error but in actual fact in the UK we have 26 letters in the alphabet. Have a great day, hugs Gordon
