a blog post a little #POETRY
My thoughts for the day: I still stick my foot in my mouth, I just have learned not to chew on it. This pretty much applies every day. And it’s a little atrocious sometimes. But I’ve also learned to keep my mouth shut and THAT actually helps. A LOT. Now here’s the Poetry, I’m behind…

To the Self-Proclaimed Wine Steals Whore: You may make out with them in the parking lot, Share wine and tales in the same room as some of your former consorts, But unless they see you for the diamond you are Tell them to pay their own damned cork fee!
