Broken Record

Bleak is the outcome

Of invasive fun.

The fool utters the words

Of a stinging pun.

 

Laugh if you must

Of anothers embarassment.

An empty mind

Resides in a basement.

 

Hold your tongue

As it wags too much.

Much like a dogs tail,

Not as delightful as such.

 

We should record

Our spoken words.

That's a record we'll break

After we've heard.

Most people don't hear the words they say. If some of those words were recorded and they heard them, they would stop talking that way.

But remember, “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

A very good reminder of how we can live and die by our tongue, the only thing that needs to be tamed.

Powerful wonderful wise advice...
And the timing is incredible or is it?
I was thinking of this small town here and
how others find delight in gossip something I
do not approve of... Cackling old hens whispering
all about ya because you're different... But you know
what? I smile and nod my head... One lady one time actually
said something to me a sour line of gossip about me... untrue of
course... and I looked at her and smiled an said, you know what Ms so and so... I don't have to say a word because you high and mighty ladies have no troubles opening your mouths and proven to everyone you're all arses... Her jaw dropped! LOL I smiled and kept on walking... Said have a marvelous day...

Love and Light

These words should be heeded by anyone who seeks to belittle anyone else. I believe we were all put here to help each other, not hinder in any way. You tell 'em!

Love ya!
