 The Sharp Tongue

*:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:*

If I could point out one bad vice
Which we all should think of twice
The tongue is like a butcher's knife
It cuts our feelings slice by slice

*:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:*

Like a deadly serpent's sting
The tongue is a most deadly thing
With cruel words it shed our tears
It cares not what pain it brings

*:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:*

It does not know how to be kind
The razor's tip sinks where it finds
To our tender feelings it is blind
Caring not what's left behind

*:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:**:ˇ..ˇ:*

From these offenders best keep far
Do not leave your doors ajar
For with their tongues they leave scars
So bolt up tight and put up bars
