Chatterbox.

Goldfinch60



We were sitting drinking our coffee,

Three young ladies came in,

Bought their coffee,

And sat at the table,

The one next to ours.

Then it started,

They started talking,

I say they,

I meant one.

And talk she did,

So loud I heard every word.

She went on and on and on,

Her voice so penetrating.

The other two just sat there,

Waiting for an edgeways,

To get a word in.

    A fine write Gold.

  • Michael Edwards

    They say a word in edgeways sounds lie a squeak. Nice one - I can envisage the scene.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thanks Michael, it was amazing how she kept on talking.

      This reminds me of a remarkable photograph of my mother in law which must have been taken with a very very fast shutter speed because its the only time i have seen her with her mouth shut (a Les Dawson joke).

      • Goldfinch60

        Great funster was Les Dawson. I take it you enjoyed his magnificent piano playing?

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ Your choice of Music is very eclectic. Angela & I love TBIRDS and Theme Tunes for great TV are always Classics. Love the poem very true to life. At a Party once we had a Female Converstaion Monopoliser (FCM) and in the end the Host popped a large Tea Pot Cosy (you dont see them anymore ~ Bag in a Cup syndrome) over her Head ~ She left in a MUFF ! If you know any other *Shut Up* methods please let us know ! Usually FCMs (and MCMs) have very little (of value) to say but insist on saying it at length. There are also many Preachers like that !

        Blessings & Peace to You & JOYCE
        Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

          Thank you A and B. It was quite something to witness, I was sure at one time she was circular breathing.

        • Suresh

          Haven't we had a similar experience, strangely thou we feel embarrassed to make eye contact

        • Neville

          tis the way of the word.... nicely observed, tho maybe a tad irritating.... the natter, I mean....

          Neville

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Neville. Yes it did get irritating, I wondered what her friends were thinking, perhaps they were used to it and just turned off their minds.

            • Neville

              probably....
