By measured degrees we say what we please From beginning to well rehearsed end We correctly surmise that to do otherwise May offend those that we would call friends Though once in a while we miss by a mile And out slips something we shouldn't repeat That's when if by design we remember the line Open mouth please insert feet The bigger the gaffe the more we can laugh When the fur has ceased flying around For if friendship is true what I may say to you Might cause me to fall on the ground When taking a stand I may talk with my hands Some might say I get carried away And they just might be right for though they fit tight I've got both in there 'bout every day !

This certainly brought a smile to my face this dreary morning! "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

I, too, suffer from 'foot in mouth disorder'! It does make swallowing a bit difficult! This is delightful, Dr. Moose!  Denise |

Very wise words. I think sometimes we are not considerate enought of how are words and our actions affect others around us. James |

I can relate to this except sometimes I feel two feet just are not enough for some blounders. I loved this, you have a marvelous talent for writing catchy poems. |

Over here in the Lowlands, we usually bite our tongue. I think your way is a lot less painful. I shall try that from now on  Wise words though ! |
