Shut That Lady Up, Or Throw Her Out - Both Audio and Text - On Poetry

Listen to poem:
Someone in the audience is talking! I can hear them. And that, to me, is nothing short of rude! I’m trying to build an ambiance, and whispering’s disrespectful. You have to know - it mutilates the mood. I’m just going to stand here ‘til I’m absolutely positive this type of bad behavior’s going to cease, So hopefully the culprit will, for now, refrain from chatting…until, at least, I’ve finished with my piece! Hey, you brainless psycho…I can see you. Now I’m ticked! Would someone kindly slap that woman’s face? She’s obviously oblivious to everything I’ve said, and doesn’t know this ain’t the time or place To chit-chat on your cell phone. Call security, right now, it’s time that loud-mouthed lady took a hike! I guess - so you can hear me - if she doesn’t quiet down…I’m going to have to all but - eat the mic! Wha-da-ya mean, “My time is up?” I haven’t read a word yet! Of course I know there’re more who need to read… But only after someone throws that troublemaker out - or somehow shuts her up - will I concede! PS: I've now got 4 new Audio-CDs to offer my poetry fans- @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diversely varied pieces). They’re listed on EBAY - under - “Mark Stellinga Poetry” - or available by simply contacting me at -- mark@writerofbooks.com -- should those of you who enjoy listening to poems as well as reading them - and particularly those of you who travel - care to be so entertained.
