Premium Member Get a Word In

If I can’t get a word in edgewise,
why would I bother trying any other way?
My wife always finds a way to get a word, or two or more in.

Premium Member Rambling


                            rambling 
                        is all he does 
           when drunk, which is often;
    nothing he says ever makes sense.
 don't be surprised if he falls like timber...
      you won't get a word in edgewise.
              please, quit the bottle, sir!
                          an expert in 
                            rambling

falling on deaf ears 
       can’t get a word in edgewise 
       ~  now they see my point
