Worthy Words of Wisdom

Worthy Words of Wisdom © Ben Burton Beware harsh words which sometimes pierce the lips Or enter cyberland through angry fingertips Though silence might not sit well with a friend Silence leaves no footprint one might soon wish to rescind And worst of all the ones that cannot ever be recalled For death denies apology, regret can't be forestalled Which leaves but one sure method with no inherent risk Worthy words of wisdom proffered by our mothers To the point and framed like this: "If you can't say something nice about somebody Keep your big trap shut"
