Have You Heard of the New Girl In Town

Have you heard of the new girl in town?
No, I do not believe I have. What about her?
I heard that she is a Viking Cow.
What is that? No idea.
Are you going to ask her?
No!
Why not?
I don’t even know if it is true
And yet here you are telling everybody.
I told no one else.
I wink at her.
Sure.


She walks off huffy.
I hear her say to the next guy
“Have you heard about the new girl in town?”
“No.”
“I heard she was a bike-attack waiting to happen.
“A what?”
“A bike-attack.”
What is that?
I have no idea, but it makes me want to meet her.
Why don’t you then?
I think I might.

The second grandma and I look at each other and smile as she approaches number three.
Alzheimer’s units are interesting places all day long.

I listen to people and I steal their dialogue, and they never know, because at my age, I am glad to report I am invisible where ever I go.
