Good one, Jan, I’ve known people like this and I learned to tune out their endless chatter, but every once in a while they say something important and I totally miss it. John

Jan, your limerick hits a cord with many who have had to deal with a friend or associate who has this dread condition. There's a reason they say silence is golden. I have a sign in my office that says, "Always love your friends and use words when necessary!" Another thoughtful work my friend...

No they don't stop...of course, if they did, where would we be? What would we all do? How would we all cope? Perhaps that one voice is more of a blessing. Beautifully penned, Jan.
