Notes About The Poem

He Just Adores the Sound of His Own Voice

an incessant bore
he droned on and on and on …
where’s my gaffer tape!

Based on experience at our meal out last night – he dominated the conversation at our end of the table and then didn’t stop twittering on even during the talk on the Chinese New Year.

Yeah, that is a pain in the you know where. Some people suck up all the air in the room. I find those people tough to deal with. How do we tell them to shut up!! It's worse when they are loud too!

Sucking the air out of the room that's a great description Duke. Not only was he loud so was his suit:-( hugs jan xx

Jan's poor husband didn't know what was in store / And by a stroke of bad luck was sat by the bore/ The bore started up and took to the floor/ Jan's poor husband could take no more/so they heckled and booed him and that didn't work /suddenly they realised the man was a complete jerk. Apart from the bore, I hope you had a good time. Regards Tom
