BE CAREFUL, FRIEND, JUST HOW YOU WIELD YOUR WIT

BE CAREFUL, FRIEND, JUST HOW YOU WIELD YOUR WIT
By Alice Workman - www.AskAuntAlice.net



Be careful, friend, just how you wield your wit.

For like the random swinging of a bat,

You may regret the outcome that you get.



Your strike may fling another in a pit,

The ricochet might also knock you flat.

Be careful, friend, just how you wield your wit.


You might amuse some on the face of it,

But secretly they’re filling up the vat;

You may regret the boiling that you get.



Annoy a mad dog, and you will get bit,

The same if you imply a woman's fat.

Be careful, friend, just how you wield your wit



The words you fling in jest may be a hit,

But like the tail-hold swinging of a cat,

You may regret the clawing that you get.



Though some may think you funny, I'll admit,

Still others will believe that you're a rat.

Be careful, friend, just how you wield your wit.

You may regret the outcome that you get.
