Sidney Beck Poet Dramatic Verse

Whatever You Say Dear

WHATEVER    YOU    SAY    DEAR



                She said,  you don’t even listen to me.

He said, well how much did it cost ?
                
                If you’ve lost it,  am I supposed to look for it?

He replied but it’s not my book, sweetheart.

               Yes,  you always make a neat start, but never finish.

No,  I think it was actually a Danish author.

               If there is any left in the fridge, OK, I’d like some  -
               Oh, and a cup of coffee if you don’t mind.

I don’t mind, but with your weight  -  a couple of toffees?

               No, I don’t want to wait.  I’d like  it now please.

OK, I’ll get the candies,  but no more pleas  tonight, right?

               If you wish to write, don’t use candles, silly !

Candies won’t help if you’re chilly,  but whatever you  say, dear.

Carolyn Devonshire February 14, 2011 at 4:24 AM The misperceived messages give this a ring of truth, Syd, and certainly give readers some laughs. Enjoyed! Hadn't seen you here for a while, but am glad to see you're still posting. Love, Carolyn
