Caustic tongues on the other hand have caused us all a bit and more than a bit of grief.
I had a case of caustic tongue once, well I thought it was. Turned out to be a mild case of foot n' mouth disease. Nothing a can of Spam(TM) couldn't fix. However I did get acid on my tongue and that was a really long trip, till it cleared up by itself. Maybe.
I don't grieve over any of it. However I miss my pet rock. It was a horrible death, I left him near a rolling pin, I buried him on the beach. Mom wouldn't get me another one. Yeah it is tough to grow this old with so much grief, it weighs pretty heavy on my soul (I do so, too, have one
), lugging all this grit around. I have to, it reminds me of Ralphy, my pet rock. Oh, the burdens I do bare.
I do so, too, miss my Ralphy. It still tastes bitter on my tongue.
Cold up in this part of the State, gettin cold down there yet? I've been keeping warm burning bridges.
