Saga of a Yipper Yapper
Written for anybody who has had to listen to a Yipper Yapper:
Yippin’ and yappin’ all day long
Always right, while everybody else is wrong.
Thinking you know it all, about everything there is,
Always got your nose in everybody else’s biz.
You know all, seen all, and done all too.
Where would any of us be without you? Well, If you’re keeping score...
Good thing you’re here to help those of us that are “ Knowledge Poor”
I guess without you, we wouldn’t even be able to find a door.
Was there ever any hope for us, before?
Barking orders all night and all day
Ever wonder why it is that nobody jumps to obey?
Or why nobody hangs on every word that you say?
Poor Baby! What's the matter?
Did everybody took their toys and go somewhere else to play?
You making my head spin, all of your yippin’ and yappin’ all day
Always Interrupting, and butting in.
Never listening, maybe someone else has something to say.
The Energizer Bunny has nothing on you today.
Other people know how to talk too... Are you listening to me?
Bend over, there is some place I want to put my shoe.
This is too much, I can't listen to it all....
What ever! Excuse me, I need to make a very long phone call.
Just give it a rest. Just don't yip or yap for 5 minutes, OK?
Don’t start again, I mean it! Don’t do it, I mean it, don’t do it I say….
That’s It! I can’t stand it any more,
I think I’ll nail your tongue to the table today.
