Talking ~

“VARIETY IN ALL THINGS!” a poem, a.k.a.: “Moderation Is The Spice Of Life!”*

June 18, 2019 – Tuesday

I USED to play some tennis! but, then! Well! not-so-much,

For no one seems to be interested! Friends? are-“out-of-touch?!”**

I used to “paint-some-pretty-pictures,” and-also: tend The Lawn,

But things have changed a bit, I think! Is-it A BRIGHT, NEW DAWN?

OF TALKING, TALKING! (pause) Now, talking-AIN’T-“bad,”

But, if that is ALL you do, it seems a little sad!

I REMEMBER “TALK!” (a contemplative pause!) as-a- little kid,

Especially, on-the-phone! but-not-controlled by-ID!***

In-other-words: It-wasn’t-The-Only-Thing-we-did-ALL-friggin’-day!

COMMUNICATION HAS ITS PLACE, but-isn’t-there-another-way?

Isn’t-there-a-way-to-get-by without-using-the-cell-to-text-&-talk-all-day-long?

What about some OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES? A-hobby? Some-dance- &/or-a-song?

TOO MUCH (I think) OF ANYTHING**** – can get a little boring!!

I love ME, and I love YOU! Yet, when I hear you snoring,

I-THINK, “WHEN-[S]HE-WAKES, I’M-SURE-THE-1ST-THING-[S]HE’LL DO,

IS – GRAB-FOR-THAT-MOBILE – &-TEXT – &-SEARCH – &-TALK-TALK-TO,

WHOMEVER-[S]HE-CAN-GET-ON-‘THERE,’ JUST TO BE ‘DEVICING!'”

Now-remember! Talk’s-fine, but-doing-it-NON-STOP-is, perhaps-not-so-en-ticing!

But, I can use THIS THEME (can’t-I?) ’til I’m bloody “blue in The Face!”

YOU ALL-DO WHAT YOU WANT, * YOU “MOBILE” HUMAN RACE!

  • – originally: “Variety is the spice of all life!” and “Moderation in all Things!” 🙂

** – as opposed to: “out for lunch!”

*** – a term coined by Sigmund Freud, “the PSYCHOlogist,” meaning, approximately: The part of the mind where instinctive impulses rule, i.e.: Where your IDIOT dwells and angels fear to tread!

**** – Including writing and reading poetry! 🙂 – Forsooth!

* – You will ANYWAY! Right?
