Careless Slip Of Tongue Poem by Terence George Craddock

wind up people stir
escalate increase tension
expand irritation anger chaos

wind down people safe
put lid on boiling over pot
instant stop issues

wise draw issues to close
may gradually draw to a close
with art of distraction

restoring harmony
normality gradually
settling issues to a close

to relax stress excitement
careless slip of tongue
to detox toxic situations

flippant remarks
have power to inflame
to clever entertain

to unleash storm anger reign
a good rule with public remarks
wisely define the guest list
