Sure I must tame my tongue <br />Lest I fall in the fire of dung! <br />Rests in it the sweetness of speech <br />Wisdom flows as you nicely preach! <br />Sour or sweet, tongue knows the difference <br />In the world of food, it has its preference! <br />When left untamed and let loose <br />We falter and let tongue to choose <br />The nasty road that leads to hell <br />Slow but sure follows the death knell! <br />The tongue unbridled and untamed <br />Leads in fact to uncontrolled words <br />Makes life difficult and ill-famed <br />Even our good friends made to cross swords! <br />Tamed tongue breeds nice health and peace <br />Through words sweet and food nice with ease!<br /><br />Subbaraman N V<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tame-the-tongue/
