Guard your tongue before words you fling
Let them not fly as from a sling
Tongue is to taste
And never to bite
If not, cut the length of your tongue

A cobra frightens us so many times, the to and fro of its tongue continues, but once it bites it loses its poison, and becomes a poor earthworm.

i liked 1st two lines. French Kissing Yes, taste with your tongue if you can. Lick stamps and a baked bean can top. But if you're passionate & a " French" fan, your lover and you may not be able to stop.. kissing until your entwined tongues withdraw, leaving all the gawking onlookers feeling awe! ! bri :)

1 - " A limerick is a humorous poem consisting of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines should only have five to seven syllables; they too must rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm" I thought i taught you better! was this written BEFORE you were my student? bri : (
