To know what to say...

b"h

7 sept 2013

To know what to say and when to say it are

Gifts.  Of course I can only speak for

Myself, so you might think I'm totally

Wrong...  But I seem to say the wrong 

Thing at the wrong time.  And the worst

Thing is that I don't even know I did it.

Anyhow I'm probably not saying the right

Thing right now.  Well -- I'm not really

Saying anything.  I'm just thinking -- I

Can -- you know -- I'm just thinking and

Writing down what I think.  And as you can

Tell I'm not thinking of anything interesting

Like circuses or amoebas or poisonous snakes.

So if you want to talk about those, then you've

Come to the wrong place at the wrong time.  But

I won't call you an idiot or anything -- since

Even I know that would be wrong to say -- now...

But maybe it would be all right if I say it later.

I see this as a fun write. A little self-deprecating, but that's kind of endearing. I even see the implied 'idiot' jibe as amusing. We can all be idiots sometimes anyway. You made me smile, and I thank you for that. ~ Robert.

I'm glad the poem gave you a smile -- it can serve no better purpose. Thank you for reading it and for taking the time and energy to write such an interesting and kind review. --David

Reading this is like reading unspoken thoughts, a wandering of the mind at rest but trying to be .. something, anything. A musing of words, this is.. and charming and familiar.. and worth reading over just to feel better about merely being self at ease.

' But ~ I won't call you an idiot or anything -- since ~ Even I know that would be wrong to say -- now... ~ But maybe it would be all right if I say it later.' That makes me smile .. feel free to say it, if you want! '

I've often done the same thing which i why I stay as quiet as I can for as long as I can. I identify with this one and I won't be talking about snakes anytime soon. Funny David.

Oh come on... I'd like to hear something about snakes -- but don't say the wrong thing :) Thanks Relic. --David
