“Too Much Yappin'” A Poem by barleygirl

Too Much Yappin'conversation is overrated . . .

 

 Used to be a young whippersnapper

rarely inclined to zip my yapper.
Nowadays I don’t have much to say
a random poem on a lucid day.

With millions competing to be heard
nobody gets in an edgewise word.
Half the time everybody’s yellin’
nobody hearin’ what anybody’s tellin’.

That’s why I’m livin’ way off the grid
keepin’ it simple, keepin’ things hid.
Not a damn thing for me to eschew
just me and my fur girls anyhoo.

Always ready to deal with dangers
but ain’t no dealing with some strangers
that happens to be the country way
so scram if you got too much to say.
