Slow Down, Calm Down Poem by John Sensele

Slow down, crawl back to your senses
Indulge in damage limitation
Mend fences
As you embark on reparation preparation.

Slow down, calm down
Restore normalcy
On your face, wear no frown
Instead plead for her mercy.

Slow down, act your age
For it pays to display maturity
At work, at play and in marriage
Where maturity enhances security.

Slow down, apologise for the outburst
Which burnt and singed bridges
Lest you should get cursed
And your stained remains should garnish floors of fridges.
