The tongue is an unruly member,
So clearly says the Holy Bible,
With it we spread vicious lies,
And commit both slander and libel.

We may think we will get away,
But God has a really big Book,
And there's a very clear record,
Of each nasty swipe that we took.

So be smart, control your tongue,
And say something nice on this day,
For if you just keep on gossiping,
You will most surely have to pay.

"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell."
