Gayle Rodd Poet Rhyme

Chatty Kathy

This trait I hate!
This "Chatty Kathy" fate
I'm so Chatty Kathy today

My dignity, My grace
blows up in my face
whenever I'm talkin' this way

I'm never demure
(I'm not even sure
how I'd even BE that if I could)

So like it or not
I'm talkin' alot
maybe a lot more than I should.

Be careful with me
don't invite me for tea
If you do here's a simple heads up

Make sure you don't brew
"Constant Comment" for two
If you truly want me to 'shut up’.

Anil Deo March 26, 2017 at 3:33 PM Powerful ... and sad, too. Could you also tell yourself that God makes no mistakes, and he made each of us? or at least, "God sees me as his beautiful child. He does." Anil Deo Gayle Rodd March 26, 2017 at 4:17 PM Thx for reading, Anil. Yes it's wonderful that He makes no mistakes and love us - even us chatty ones too! :D

Phil Capitano March 9, 2017 at 7:55 AM I agree with Paul, your sense of humour shines like the sun. You will find most here like a wordy girl, lol. PS: I know another Chatty Cathy for real. Gayle Rodd March 9, 2017 at 8:00 AM Well that is a compliment! I have asthma which it's kind of a blessing for many, 'cause when I go to take a deep breath or use my inhaler, THAT's when people know they can make a run for it! (I think I wrote about it in my book).
