You Never Listen To Me

YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME For God’s sake, woman, you’ve been twittering away There for hours and how often have I heard your story?. . . About a dozen: “Oh, I should never have married you, me mother says. . . ” “Oh me brother’s sooo wonderful and lives in a condo in Aspen. . . ” And “Me sister’s expensive trip to Australia for the winter. . . “ Now shut the flock up or I will be forced to shut you up permanently. Ok, baby, so here’s a sample. I’ve just had enough banter - No more Mr Nice Guy. Put a sock in it or I’ll stick me foot in it none too gently. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Written for Francine Roberts' Contest "enough!"
