Eating of one's words

You may say this and you may say that
One thing you must be sure at
all your sentences, thoughts and words
You will have to eat , afterwards

Though one may seem smart
to make pithy judgements
It may help you make a mark
but there is no permanence

In the slippery world of destiny
Tables turn and situation alters
Within matter of fractions tiny
of a second. What matters

is the ability to eat humble pie
for providence shall ensure
somehow , before you die
to swallow each word you utter

better keep them nice and sweet
so as to be able to gobble and eat
as one may devour a treat
before your end you meet
