Open Mouth, Insert Foot!

The shouldn't-have-said-it blues avoider!

                                                  

If there's one thing I've perfected though the years,

especially after partaking of one too many beers,

it's saying the wrong thing to the wrong person.

Come look at my award, the one that I won!

 

***

 

Saying the wrong thing, is, believe it or not, quite an art form,

and having thick enough skin, to weather the s**t storm

sure to follow--not really, now I'm spinning quite a yarn.

Better take this to heart--for it's you I'm trying to warn.

***

 

Actually, it's quite easy--just ignore your internal alarm,

the one screaming at you to not say it, it'll cause untold harm.

That's where the alcohol helps--dulls your senses quite a bit,

and you piss somebody off with your, 'shouldn't have said it!'

 

***

 

Here's where the benefits of too much beer begin to wane,

you aren't too coordinated as you try to run away

from that big, angry dude you just big-time insulted

with the stupid s**t your idiot mouth just blurted!

 

 ***

 

So, take it from me, the shouldn't-have-said-it-but-did king,

unless you want to eat your teeth, or have your a*s in a sling,

the first thought that pops into your head, 9 times out of 10,

will leave you in a world of hurt and bleeding, yes, again!

In other words, think twice before you speak. And if it doesn't need to be said, don't say it.

Exactly, Marie!
