Silly Clot Poem by David Harris

At times, we fall from grace
in absent mined moments.
Unfortunately, some people
have those all the time
and to compound the agony
they never learn the lesson
of keeping their big trap shut.

We all put our foot in our mouth
at sometime or the other,
then apologise for the error
and it is completely forgotten,
but about the person who keeps doing it
we call him a silly clot.

How many have you encountered
in your journey through life?
You know the type,
as soon as they open their mouth
they are chewing happily on their foot.
The higher position they are in
the bigger the clot you will see.
