Be careful what you say
    if elephants are listening

be careful what you do
    if eagles are watching

be careful what you hear
    if jackals are talking

be careful what you wish for
    if a genie is in the bottle

be careful what you pretend
    if poets are reciting

be careful what you weigh
    if your life is in the balance

be careful . . .

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

This is a fantastic read, Krawdad. The second time through, I had better eyes, maybe more like an eagles. Enjoyed!
