Poetry: True feelings

If I let my true feelings show
What will come to pass?
If I tell the boss she stinks,
Will she can my ass?

If I tell my grandma that
I really hate her food,
Will she become depressed
And have a dampened mood?

What about best friend, Betsy,
and her jerky boyfriend?
If I express my disgust
That would mean our friendship's end.

Perhaps it best to remember
My dear old mom's advice:
It's simply best to keep quiet
If you can't say something nice.

    whenever i return to the land,
    of my grandmother's birth.
