If all of us thought as we ought
would we be likely to settle
each opinion regimental
or prove like to like is worth naught.

Those who never learned but were taught
have only thoughts themselves to blame
or such the self-help books do claim
but none of us think as we ought.

A swift hard kick I should have earned
when I hurled bigger words at them
but it’s so much fun to condemn
those who were taught but never learned.

I opened my mouth far too quick
let thoughts escape thick and plenty
none of them worth a thin penny
yet I still earned a swift hard kick.
Lynne
To be trashed with a firm brisk whisk
could be considered an insult
but often it’s the real result
of opening your mouth too quick.
