TOTALLY OPTIONAL PROMPTS
suggests
'Spontaneity versus Planning'
as a theme.
One aspect of my life could certainly do with more consideration!
FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE!
It's dangerous stuff, spontaneity!
I've tried it and I can attest
That thinking things over quite calmly
Is always undoubtedly best.
I've opened my mouth far too often
With what I consider a quip
To realise I should have waited,
Avoiding a terrible slip.
It's pleasant to make people giggle,
One feels like a really bright spark,
But the horrible pause on completion
Shows I've been over-stepping the mark.
I've made more than one nasty boo-boo,
Upsetting the people I love.
Avoid those spontaneous wisecracks
Like those in the picture above!

The consideration was too lengthy here:

Hi, Thanks for visiting my blog.

I think your poem was written with me in mind...lol
Love the KFC wisecrack - must be Brit humour rearing its ugly head again...
Boy does this hit home - my feet stay in my mouth LOL
