Humorous Poem

Putting My Foot Into My Mouth

Have you every said something you didn't mean? Or someone asked you a question and you responded before you had a chance to think about what should be said? Well, I have been guilty of this on more than one occasion. It is not that I don't have a filter, it is I should use it more often. Maybe you can relate? This is a funny poem about not having a filter.

I really feel for this poem - I am always engaging my mouth before my brain - the words come tumbling out before I can stop them. Best wishes, Ann

Without A Filter

Published by Family Friend Poems December 23, 2023 with permission of the Author.

Words don't come easy
They really never have
They usually just come out messy
Leaving me with should haves

Should have walked away
Before opening my mouth
Not that I don't have words to say
It's just my mind speaks outload

Sometimes way too abruptly
Never with meaning to offend
Be careful of what is asked quickly
Because it will surely be my end

Please don't ask my opinion
Unless you are willing to accept
You will probably have to disown me
Because the response will be inept

Spoken truly with shaking
It seems I was born without
This simply thing is lacking
To stop the words out of my mouth

ABOUT THE POET:

Not a lot to say here. I just enjoy writing as a means to mentally unwind. I also like to read what others have written and look for the meaning behind the words. Not just the meaning, but the emotions/feelings that are being communicated through the words.
