Yakety Yakety Yakety Yak

Lorna



Jabber jabber

Why on earth

Do people blather 

On so much

It's not as if it tends to matter

So and so did such and such

It keeps them feeling 

They're in touch

But really through millenia

Repetition yet again

Ad infinitum to the end

    Haven't heard the music yet but I really love the ode - great metre, great words and great truth - and into faves.

  • Lorna

    If you're painting be careful - the brush will dance all over your canvas...........

    • Michael Edwards

      Ah you've never seen me wielding mu brush. Listened to the music having never heard of Thorogood - given me an idea for a poem.

      Lorna,
      I wonder if it did drive him away? Lol

      This little gem of yours is great! You just picked my genre of music for today! Now I have to convince my 95 year old mom to get up and boogie with me! 🤣
      Listening to Thorogood’s song made me want to get up and boogie like many of his songs do!

        Hi L! Be nice - don't kill your mother........... I've discovered how to create playlists on Youtube and put and play music in different categories - so he has just started my "upbeat" category for dancing to in the mornings......! It's fun.

        • Laura🌻

          Another favorite of mine is “Bad to the Bone”! Just played it!

          • Lorna

            I'll go find it! Sounds rockin'

            • Laura🌻

              Forgot to mention...
              I love the comic strip!!😂

              And - Why do people keep repeating themselves? I said, Why do people......? I wish I would shut up sometimes! lol.

              • Lorna

                Don't shut up......... we like the music.........

              • kitcat

                Ha ha ha we can all talk #hit sometimes but somehow we stand there and listen to it Brill 🙂

              • Fay Slimm.

                Ooooh love the number and those words deliver some truths with honest delivery - - this has to be put in my favs.- - - Yay - - what fun - -hope you dance away Lorna from those yakety blatherers and get some toe- tapping boogie done.

                • Lorna

                  Hi Fay...... actually I'm too much of a loner to get trapped by yakety blatherers........ although I try to be polite! Thanks for your fav!

                • Accidental Poet

                  I know some people like this. Great song and read.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Good write and message Lorna. That song does want me to get up and rock but it would seem a bit odd to the neighbours this early in the morning.

                  I found this quote which may apply:

                  "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.” ...

                  • Lorna

                    I absolutely agree with that quote Andy! So I have to watch myself very carefully after I drink a cup of coffee because it makes me talk wayyyyyyyy too much........... but I dance faster too! ha!
