Tighten the Tongue

Tighten the Tongue James: Chapter 3. Seems like tongues these days Are errors from all their ways Not deserving praise. Due to tainted tongue Many hands we will have wrung Sad songs also sung. Tongue terror was full Not only that bunch of bull Stubborn as a mule. Our tongues tried to tame Not give others all the blame To us will do same. Why incriminate With tongue we should always wait Also hesitate. With tongue tell the truth While never being uncouth Had been in our youth. We humiliate With tongue is a common trait Will have to sedate. James Thesarious Hilarious Horn Retired Veteran and Poet
