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