I Could But Won't

WriteBeLight

I could write,

About our spat.

But, keep it to me,

Not writing about that.

 

Or, your mannerisms,

Like you wear a crown.

Not writing about that.

Won’t jot it down.

 

I could go on,

And, turn to gossip.

My lips are sealed,

Shut down that faucet.

 

I could tell you,

Your cooking’s awful.

Won’t say those words,

Might be unlawful.

 

Could be a spendthrift,

And, really splurge.

Instead be disciplined,

Squash that urge.

 

I could tell you,

You’re getting fat.

Won’t hurt your feelings,

Not saying that.

 

I could be angry,

That you went away.

Keep it to myself,

Let you have your way.

 

What I'll write down,

The word’s I’ll show,

Glad you were in my life,

So, to you I toast.

      Ha Ha. Just a poem about when people say they are not going to say anything about something, and then not realizing they just did. Thanks Kevin!

      None of us are perfect but we should recognise that and look to the good points in people for we all have them. You've penned a few great lines here.

        A good flow to this rant against the vagaries of others.
