Chatterbox

We all meet Friends like these and sometimes we keep them!! Written with a bit of Jamaican Patois thrown in. Chatterbox Some people when them when they start chat Just cant stop at all Not a word in edgeways You are a fly on the wall Just like a runaway train You wish their mouth would stall All the world revolve round them And the echoes from their eardrums Don't resonate, to their braincells at all Impervious to the voice of reason Tougher than a granite wall Do they ever stop to think for a moment That for every problem they got There are many a solutions But they never give you a chance To answer them back. Last time you were telling me How you fall out with your friend Instead of complaining to me Why not talk to him Continue with your chatter Then tell me 'bout his mother Sister, and a brother called Glen But you wearing me down With all your problems I have my Water Rates Gas and electricity to pay Already got the final letter And tomorrow is cut off day! Not too bothered 'bout the cooking Cornmeal mi know to turn But if mi have no drinking water Mi have no where to turn. Cleanliness is next to godliness ChikV on the rise And keep spreading Without water to keep clean Pickney them will get sick And Catch germ Mi know Mass Bertie Is a good and honest man. He is not a borrower But he will lend So if its money you want from me Don't look in my direction Go and borrow from him. My parents all use to tell me Life is not an easy ride As fast as you fall down So you must try to rise Same thing the elders told me Same thing has just arrived Same thing I experience Same way you must learn Once you suffer from laziness Dollars you cease to earn If you continue with your foolishness And don't move up a gear Same thing whey happen last year Same thing will happen this year Working hard is no science Its brings its reward Food on the table And forges self-reliance So if you have nothing further to say Please get out of my way I have a pressing day While I bid you farewell And wish you good day.
