Your Tongue

Is it long and sticky or 
just short and real light red? 
Does it have a little bump  
and hang out of your head? 

Is it wet and looking for 
something to that tastes real good? 
Do you have to tell your tongue 
you aren’t in the mood? 

The mind and body can relate 
but the  tongue’s a life its own 
it thinks it owns the whole body 
but doesn’t have a bone. 

So stick it back in to your mouth 
and close your lips up tight 
Its gross to see you slobber 
and spit throughout the night.
