The Mouth

Be careful what you put in here for soon it’s going to disappear and start its journey through your gut into the place that you then put upon a seat in smallest room where then expelled it makes more room for mouth to welcome more inside to once again join in this ride. Spiced or bland or sweet or sour whatever things that you devour must make the same intestinal ride but differ in their slip and slide while some go calmly, some go slow there’s ones who must resist the flow and scratching, burning in their haste are painful when expelled as waste. So bearing all of this in mind I think that all of you will find if you take care what enters in the place where gluttony is sin that when your food is spent at last at journeys end when all is passed you’ll get a thank you from your bum …….…for all mouth’s joy is not his fun! ©Ivor G Davies

Hello Ivor! I thought for sure I'd see a line or two about "eating your words!" All is fine here. You stay warm and your poetry is as usual, excellent! Best Always, Judy
