My Self-communication Problem

 

By Walt Perryman

My ears have never got me into any major trouble,
But my mouth has caused my problems to double.

Sometimes my mouth talks in an uncontrollable way.
And my mouth says stuff my brain did not want to say.

My mouth communicating with brain, is what I lack.
Because my mouth cannot suck its own words back.

I’ll keep my mouth connected to my brain today,
So, my mouth will say what my brain tells it to say.

If you read this, you’ll know they’re not connected yet,
My brain told my mouth to tell you, that’s a good bet.
