Write to remain silent

It is a little known fact that I may talk a bit much

more is simply more, I like to keep in touch 

anyway I can get across a new way to express 

I'll do all I can although they try to stop the press 

A year or so ago I made a bet of friendly sorts 

could I not talk for a day? they asked, "well sure" was  my retort 

oh its a peice of cake, I'll simply not make a sound

but oh I quickly learned that simply wasn't going down 

I sqreached and filled the air with sound effects 

If I could just communicate I'd win, their match would be met 

I thought that I would go insane, I thought that I woud pop 

then all the words I wanted to say came to a slow stop

they stood in line, and out they marched, OH JOY what relief 

oh the silence of pen and pad was my sole retreat 

I wrote hello and wrote goodbyes and everything inbetween 

and years later I text my friends, you see, I'm going green 

writting has been a pleasure, an ease on my voice 

I love to write poetry, thats my weapon of choice 

so cheers to my competitive friends, this one goes to you

the best idea since microwave, oh the wonders it can do
