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.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
