“I am fine then” I said,
“They say it is OK to talk to yourself.”
“Is that what you are doing?”
“Who are you!”
“I am you.”
“What do you mean,
You are me?”
“Well you started talking,
I only answered”
“But you’re not supposed to answer,
There is nobody else here”
“You are here, and that’s me”
“But they say you should not answer!”
“Well I am, you need answers.”
“But I am only supposed to be talking,
Talking to myself, not having a conversation”.
“Well, if you will talk, who are you talking to?”
“I am talking to myself.”
“In that case I am joining in.”
“But they say if I answer, as I am doing
I must be going mad”
“OK, who am I to disagree!”

- Comment from author about the poem: As there are so many people self-isolating a discussion has been raised about lone people talking to themselves, apparently this is not unusual and is normally OK, but apparently it is worrying if you answer yourself. The video was co-written by Tim Brooke-Taylor who died from Covid 19 a couple of days ago. RIP Tim.

Oh lol, good write Gold.
I'm confused by poems with 'Me, Myself, and I' in them. Are there three people then?!
Only if you can't count.
Fun stuff.
I've been happy to be alone for quite some time and talking to myself is somethng i do often but mostly it's 'come on then you old git, better get it done' or similar.
Yep I use similar words with maybe a stronger vocabulary.

BRIAN HERE ~ Angela is in the Melting Pot ~ but Noblese Oblige ! Great SCETCH from TBT et al ! And in some ways true ! One only has to read between the lines in Dickens to realise *The Good Old Days* were really *The Bad Old Days* in disguise. In 50 years time COVID 19 will be Science Fiction like Quatermass !
Now that I have my Own Garden and Im *Home Alone* *I talk to the Trees ~ and they do listen to me* The WUHAAN *Live Meat Market^ has a lot to answer for ! Good Pome ! *Miss Otis & I regret ~ we*re unable to post today ! *
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛
Yes we all recognise this - it gets worse when you give an answer before you have asked the question
That's so true isn't it?
Is it?
Yes it is.
Are you sure?
Yes I am - I think.
You know why I like to talk to myself? I like to talk to intelligent people! So this is what you too are doing.
I totally agree with you Fred.
