The tongue šŸ‘… šŸ˜‹

Flesh without bonesĀ 

Is soft yet harder than stoneĀ 

Buds that helps feel the tasteĀ 

Helping us romanticize food we ateĀ 

Ā 

Wagging like a dogs tailĀ 

When flattery it entailsĀ 

Slips like feet on wet floorĀ 

When insulting a weak poorĀ 

Ā 

With mind it consults and hatches plansĀ 

To bring down reputation of a weaker clanĀ 

It's the only train that's unstoppableĀ 

No station to Halt and unremorseableĀ 

Ā 

Words that falls and gushes forthĀ 

Makes us stand first, second or fourthĀ 

Brilliantly delivering the mugged up speechĀ 

Before the elites, wickedness to preachĀ 

Ā 

Tongue is our foe or best friend for lifeĀ 

Only if beforeĀ delivering you think twiceĀ 

It creates an atmosphere calm and happyĀ 

When speaking politely and not disdanifully crappy
