This poem demanded I write it when I happened upon this image. It's meant to be humorous and all in fun, while a message is delivered, an important one. ♥

"The careless aim of a thoughtless tongue,
Can deeply wound an innocent one."
~ Quote by Artsieladie 
 
Tongue Dilemma by Artsieladie/Sharon Donnelly
This is the clickable full size Google image url of this image from my Heartbeats blog
“Sadly, I’m in this dilemma
Cuz I wagged my tongue about,
Carelessly, without thought
Until I stretched it out!

Now look, I’m in this peril
Cuz I let my tongue go feral!
If I had spread joy and happiness
And wagged my tail instead, 
I wouldn’t be in this predicament
With my tongue around my head!

Let me be a lesson to all those who see,
Do not wag your tongue around carelessly.
Otherwise, you could also, suffer the very same,
Feeling this embarrassment, feeling all this shame!”

Thank you, Andrea. When I saw this picture, I couldn't resist coming up with something about it with a humourous angle. The name 'Artsieladie' is my online handle my daughter thought of when I first was learning how to use a computer & was first online. Hence, it has special meaning to me. I use it widely & with my given name of Sharon. Thanks to for the FAVE! All the best. :) ~ Artsie
