WHAT DID YOU SAY?

Rozina

Pardon, please speak up

What did you say?

My hearing's poor

Getting worse every day

 

Did you say "Good

She can't hear me swear!"

Oh you said Food

You've put it out there

 

What, you said "She looks Sad

And so very Old!"

Ah, you said milk's gone Bad

It's got lots of Mould

 

You don't have to shout

Right into my ear

Just speak a little louder

Move your lips dear

 

Oops that lady looks angry

She has a big frown

My voice is too loud?

Better keep my voice down

 

I'd better quickly arrange

To see ear Doctor Drew

And tell him my ears

Have in them superglue!

 

I was in BIG TROUBLE! I heard my husband say he wanted to DUMP his old shoes. So I sent the shoes and other stuff to the nearby charity shop. But apparently he had said he wanted to GUM the shoes as one had a loose sole. Luckily I was able to get his shoes back in time. I wish people wouldn't mumble.

      It does happen
      Though it sounds comedy
      And it does make one laugh
      But poor soul who understood something else
      Easier to blame the ears
      A well crafted poetry
      Sure makes one smile

        Thank you. It's even worse now as the mask reduces the volume, the lips cannot be seen.

        • spilleronsheet

          Exactly I get your feels

          Could have been worse, you might have taken him down to the charity shop. I'm thinking you might have been sick of his old shoes, though.

          • Rozina

            Yes they were so old and flapping! It really sounded like dump!

                This happens many of my friends and acquaintances are 'of a certain age' and many of them you have to be oon the correct side of them to speak into their better hearing ear.
                Good write Rozina.
