I know our tongues have jobs to do, licking lips or tasting food. They also help us say our words and see if our teeth are smooth.
After that, a tongue gets stupid, stupid, stupid tongue ... Tongues don't seem to listen and tongues act really dumb.
When we have a sharp loose tooth, we tell our tongue to stay away because it's really sharp right there but tongues just won't behave.
Your tongue gets sore and it hurts to talk. Your brain says, 'Tongue, don't take that walk! ' But tongues won't listen (or tongues don't care), and pretty soon it goes back there,
and the more it does, the more it hurts. It just won't listen and I don't know why it sneaks right back when your brain says 'NO'.
I know my tongue is helpful and I'm glad I do have one ... but why are tongues so stupid? Why are tongues so dumb?

mmmm..indeed they DO get carried away..
love this!
LOL! You do NOT want to know the trouble MY tongue has caused. I always say "God keep your hand on my shoulder and the other over my mouth"! great as usual!
This one made me smile with its accuracy, CJ. The tongue is particularly stupid when you have a tooth that's shaky. It just won't leave it alone until it uproots it! :) You're so clever with these children's poems. Love them!
God Bless
Love, Lena

You teach simple truths in such a child like manner and delightful to read saving this one to share with some little tongues I know..
This poem is great for the young and old alike...I think the tongue is the hardest thing I have to control...it's a daily chore. I will enjoy reading this to my students who also have a hard time with the control of their tongue...great job.

A poem fit for grown ups also since some ought to mind how they use their tongues. Victor

Brings to mind the three wise monkeys and their theme.." See no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.."..
When the heart controls the tongue, then all is well...;-)
Neat write from your quickfire pen..
