PHOTOGRAPHY AND POEMS
Sometimes, when each of us was young,
We’d eat so fast we’d bite our tongue –
A very painful thing it was
But pay attention now because
These words can have a different sense
Of trying not to cause offence.
“I had to bite my tongue” he said
“I didn’t say what could have led
To arguments, perhaps a fight,
Although I knew he wasn’t right.
I had the words all ready but
I chose to keep my mouth quite shut
As if my tongue were gripped by teeth
Though I was angry underneath.”
