A good poem for Lent

Our Lips and Ears

If you your lips would keep from slips,

Five things observe with care;

Of whom you speak, to whom you speak

And how and when and where.

If you your ears would save from jeers,

These things keep meekly hid;

Myself and I, and mine and my,

And how I do and did.

I found this in The Book of Virtues by William J. Bennett.  It makes me think of the me-monster that Brian Reagan talks about. You know, the one that lives in us all. Happy thoughts for Lent!
