Heartbreak In Hygiene

They say, they say a dog’s mouth
Is cleaner than a human’s
I am no taxonomist
So who am I to classify life?
But I gotta admit I agree

Humans have mouths
Full of teeth
We use to bite and bite
At people’s hearts
And in places unseen
And the right side of the brain

Humans have mouths
With a tongue of deception
That wander off to uncharted territory
Where they don’t even belong

Humans have mouths
Connected to an esophagus
That leads down to the voice box
We use to damn and curse

All in spite of the humans who
Unlike dogs
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy as you and me
