Premium Member Think Twice

Take a breath just pretend to light a cigarette
Mind your every thought so that you'll not regret
Avoid a tactless comment that might go south
Remember ~ a fly does not enter a closed mouth

Freudian Slips of the Tongue

many a foot in month 
statement uttered  
wish that they could 
be taken back but 
they never can be 
many an unintentional
tactless remark were
thoughtlessly 
abruptly bluntly 
blurted out during 
unchecked moments 
of Freudian slips of the 
tongue

Premium Member Had My Fill

Sad indeed the tears we shed in hollow marshland 
streams,
bad vibes worsen childhood fears, they shatter midnight dreams,
mad at tactless ghostly jeers and oddball moonlight beams, 
had my fill of twilight years when chasing eye blind schemes,
fad disowned by trendy peers who look quite miffed it seems, 
glad I’m one with bright careers and happy prospect teams

Caring For Your Teeth

Some oddly dully think
About their teeth that stink,
When they should’ve sounded some bell
About all not being well.
Some away choose to walk ,
When it has become the talk
And Dental Caries for chalk…
Tactless teachers of it stalk!
 
Folks who know a face that scowls 
And far-off pain that howls;
Of winds in the forest
That understand no rest 
And widows who often grieve  
Wanting to finally leave…
Care for teeth not by blows,
For A Youth’s orders blood flows.

Premium Member Good Advice for Good-For-Nothing Naysayers

To suffer the insults of fools is a worthless thing.
     Dismiss, and disregard, unthinking, tactless fellows,
who've nothing else to do (like court jesters of a king)
     than peevishly chide, rail, protest in foolish bellows!

'Tis better to give praise, tribute, and to confer fame.
     Or, when laurels are scarce, offer instead your support:
sweet words incline the heart, indictments just inflame;
     for good-for-nothings just blitz you as a first resort.
