"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!” Written by Artsieladie/Sharon Donnelly ©2014-08-03 All rights reserved.

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
