SHHHHHH

What should a person say,
When he is out of words?
I guess he should know better
Then repeat some things he's heard,
 
Well, some people don't even know
When they happen to be well off,
But you may not even know
About what I intend to scoff.
 
So I'll explain it.. but briefly,
And you'll grasp the rest,
This concerns keeping your mouth shut...
It's on the order of a test.
 
You see how long you can go
Without becoming sarcastic,
But it seems that eventually
Your mouth is going .. drastic!
 
Well, they say we all have our weakness,
Mine I know the best:
It seems that keeping MY mouth shut
Is my greatest and hardest test!
 
  P.S.
A personal but truthful problem.
