This one pays homage to what is often referred to as Foot in the Mouth Disease
ME AND MY BIG MOUTH
c2020 Brian Beecher
Me and my big mouth travel together
Get us in trouble in all kinds of weather
Just when confidence and drive are on display
Someone may offer us a chance to join forces
But then my mouth burst through like a team of wild horses
And at just the right moment to spoil the day
When communicating joy and wisdom with others
My mouth drives away all their sisters and brothers
And a not too pleasant price we have to pay
When there’s time alone to give to the body
My mouth tells me no and makes things seem shoddy
And threatens the whole need for feeling free
Taking time out to meditate and reflect
May be just what I need when it’s time to assess
All the damage that my big ol’ mouth has cast me
I may then have relationships on the brain
It is then that my mouth causes the greatest pain
And more often than not the other person lost me
On the town I may be looking for some fun
And excitement for a party of one
Spending the time with friends might have been part of the plan
I may feel attractive and want to express
My sexuality but it’s put to the test
The mouth won’t give me permission to play, love and laugh
Early in the morning I may feel restless
Knowing that my big mouth is gonna get careless
Leaving me unsure of what direction to take
It’s possible that an old way of thinking
And communicating with others is sinking
When my big mouth tells me how I should relate
There may be turbulence in my relationship
Me or my partner may be scared out of our wits
When my big mouth gets involved it’s not the same
Worried about what’s to come and to change and grow
But my mouth says the pace of change is too slow
It just doesn’t understand life’s crazy game

Mmmmm Brian...like the idea but what kind of music did you have in mind? having trouble getting a head tune or coherent metering out of this
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

Maybe one that borders a bit on the talking blues concept.

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
