Oral Ode

Oh tongue,
I am sorry
That I overused you last night
When I indulged in too many
Salt & Vinegar chips.

Now,
You won't work
For me.

You say you are tired,
But I need to have lunch,
And speak at a meeting.

Please, oh please,
My overworked friend,
Take off your wool sweater,
And be your old self
Again.
