When
I Close My Mouth
When
I close my mouth,
I
don’t eat Snickers Bars,
or
York Peppermint Patties,
I
don’t sing off key,
I
don’t speak outlandish words,
and
I don’t put my feet
where
they don’t belong.
If
I’m going to open my mouth,
I’ll
enjoy the song and sing
with
abandon.
I’ll
eat spinach (maybe)
and
whole grains.
I’ll
say words that esteem,
and
build up, and encourage,
and
I’ll guard my words so that
I
avoid the taste of shoe leather.
Something
to think on, in less than one minute.
