Tongue Tied

Today, I found myself at the end of a string of words which I could not tie up.

They got all knotted and clumpy in the middle
and I, for the life of me, could not untangle them.

I tried all different ways but 

they remained in a heap with 

which I could do nothing about.

Even the dictionary could not sort them out 

and that book has everything from A to Z.

I asked how to prevent this from happening again

 and the only way to be sure 

was to take a vow of silence 

and if there is one thing I dislike more than misusing words 

it’s not using them at all.

Me, a monk? 

How unbecoming. 

I could never pull off those robes.
