BECOMING MUTE

A mouth in trouble!

BECOMING MUTE

It's never too late to mess things up

And fall flat on my face.

Most everywhere I look it seems

It's par for our own race.

So many opportunities

Present themselves each day...

You'd think I'd get a paycheck when

I say the things I say!

I know I try so hard to keep

My mouth shut when I should,

But words spill out like bats in flight

As though I never could!

What shall I do to be polite

And garner friends astute?

Perhaps the best that I can do

Is just become a mute!

Dearest Sharon
Never become a mute…. Always say what you mean, no matter who is listening….. everybody has the right to free speech, remember? And that means you too…… I’m sure you have plenty to say….
Happy holidays
Warmly, B

Laughing because being mute would be miracle and hands up, I admit it! But you and I know you have the most wonderful ability to speak out, express the wonders of the world if you see fit.. and also, you love to inspire people into thinking and/or to smile or have a good laugh.. this morning, for me, you have done both. Thank you so much, Sharon!

Thanks so much for your kind words my friend! ~Sharon

My pleasure, of course.. plus the chance to debate your words some time in the new year! :) Enjoy the happy times, ignore the sad ones and in between dance the night away - or something, Sharon!

The secret of healthy person is not to be talkative. But to be mute. Good poem

sometimes I sure get this feeling....I should shut up and be a wallflower so as not to upset the apple cart
or the people I love.

Fabulous metaphor, yep indeed, more times than not it's those that say the least who offer up the most interesting, relevent verbal discourse, while those that bleather, perhaps it's just the sound of their own voice that intrigues them so??

Aww! Thanks so much for the kind review! ~Sharon
