Ilene Bauer Poet Limerick

Two Cents

There are many who may take offense
At advice you may choose to dispense.
You won’t get in a rut
If you keep your mouth shut
So resentment won’t therefore commence.

For it’s best, when the moment presents,
That you keep yourself up on that fence;
Though if you’d been consulted
None would be insulted
By offering up your two cents.

Eve Roper August 1, 2018 at 8:49 PM This is a well done, Ilene, it is so hard for me to keep my 2cents to myself so always getting in trouble. :) Hugs Eve

Carolyn Devonshire August 1, 2018 at 5:36 PM My mother always told me, "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all." LOL I've kept my two cents to myself so often in this lifetime that I could use the extra cash to fly to Europe. LOL Enjoyed very much, Irene. Best wishes, Carolyn
