The Babbling Gob

Fear not the dogs who bark at night

Treat them good, they will not bite.

The bark of trees protects its tough

What how you touch, it feels so rough.

Too much drinking is bad for the head

Try God’s pure water instead.

Don’t let my babbling ruin your day

One day soon we will be wed, ok?

A chicken clucks but lays no plan

It doesn’t dream of being man.

A fox will grin, a cat will flee

Not every friend will climb your tree.

The bread you share is bread that stays

The ones who scoff will dodge your praise.

I’ll sweep the path and scrub the floor

If you say yes, I’ll ask no more.

Don’t trust the smile that hides a knife

Some sweet talk stings more than a wife.

The wind can whisper or it can shout

It finds its way, with or without.

The moon won’t beg, the stars don’t cry

hold your chin when nights go dry.

So now I say, this is the end

A poem of nothing just breathed-in shite
