Tongue Ode

the tongue is just another muscle gives strength to what we think amidst life's daily hustle bustle helps thoughts to words interlink so the father with his mother tongue speaks to progeny generations come lessons learned to offspring young good ways to live, his rule of thumb still would wince at his tongue lashing flinching, blinking, cowering and meek if shouted anger from lips came flashing 'stead of old man's jokes, tongue-in-cheek but before I become too tongue-tied some tongue twister squarely knotted I'll place my tongue-in-cheek aside to address these words I've jotted and tell of my admiration for tongue no forked tongue falsehood to relate some silver tongued notes clearly sung of glossa tongues and hooks and baits that lovely lingual muscle hydrostat can do things fit for moans and groans I can hint, alluding to this and that of things we tongue like flesh and bones I think you'll agree with my observations presented to you, from my mind sprung and think of your own tasty applications many things budding the tip of your tongue © Goode Guy 2011-07-04
