Is There Something You Want To Tell Me

We used to Communicate, Brainstorm, Debate but I find you've been quiet and distant, of late. Just what aren't you Saying? What is the good Word? To find out, I eavesdropped and here's all that I heard: You Cheered from the couch for your favorite team, then Boo-ed twice as loud when they ran out of steam. You Uttered a curse word with nary a thought, then you Muttered "I'm sorry" to those in earshot. You Ordered a drink and took more than a sip, then Explained to the waiter why there'd be no tip. You Growled at the dog thinking he'd comprehend, then you Howled when he bit you, cuz it was pretend. You Broke the news gently when grandmother died and Offered condolence when some of us cried. You Whispered a prayer right before the big game, then Ranted when they won, cuz they did the same. You Offered to take the kids out for the day then Recanted when you found out you'd have to pay. You Requested a raise and when Boss Man said no, you Suggested that hell was a place he could go. You Gossiped about the new guy at the gym, but Denied it when you were confronted by him. You have Uttered and Muttered and Whispered and Lied. You've Lamented, Suggested, Proclaimed and Denied. You'll talk anyone's ear off with babbling glee, so I ask - is there something you want to Tell ME? ================ Current Contest: Screwed V Original Contest: Is There Something You Want to Tell Me 07/05/2015
