I Watch My Mouth

Poem

I live long

I stay safe

I use my mouth

Sparingly and with grace

I talk

Only when it counts

I eat food

In small amounts

I live long

I am safe

I avoid excessive chemicals

Lipped through my face;

Because tobacco and alcohol

Can diminish health

And in the end

Can cause a threat to wealth

I live long

I live safe

By rarely mouthing

Off in haste;

I tell myself

If I can

To use my mouth

Sparingly and with grace
