Hush!

From the I Have a Splitting Headache Collection. Ever know someone who would just not shut up????

PLEASE!!  Just Be Quiet !!

A ceaseless, never ending supply of streaming oratory.
A looping retelling of a not ever once ending story.

Must Silence the Silence.  Keep at bay any quiet.
Alphabet soup for each meal.  A conversational diet.

A Dark Noise.  A White Noise.  Both Heard in Full-Color. 
Any-Noise-Better-Than-Silence.  A Full-Volume Mutter.

Every Thought.  Every Feeling.  Any Time.  Any Place.
Brought Forth to Fill Up Every Moment and Space.

Rolling.  Roaring.  A Voice Ever Rumbling
Sound Upon Sound.  Your Tumbling Mumbling.

Ricocheting.  Roiling.  Rolling.  Cascading.  
A Voice Droning On... Not Ever Once Fading!

Words Upon Words.  What is Thought.  What is Meant.
Spoken.   Shouted.  Murmured.  Whispered Not Silent.

Energy.  Effort.  Toil.  All Completely Expended.
It Seems as if Silence has Forever Been Ended.

Words Spoken.  Words Written.  Words all Around.
Words Piled Upon Words.  A Complete Sound Surround.  

Words Tumbling, Words Mumbling, Murmuring and Musing.
A Cacophony of Sound.  It's My Ears You're Abusing!

The Time Here is Short.  Should Ensure it’s Well Spent.
What would happen I wonder, if you were for once just silent.


Please stop talking.  I just cannot take one more word.
SHUT UP!  YOU’RE INSANE.  HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

Take it outside! On your way out shut tightly the door.
But first,  pick up those words you've dropped all over the floor!


...shhhhhhh ....

Silence is Golden. Duct Tape is Silver.

... and then it doesn't much matter anymore. Lock and bar the door and go eat a bowl of Lucky Charms and take a nap. The perfect day!

Just a ton of great lines but especially loved to read and say
"Rolling. Roaring. A Voice Ever Rumbling
Sound Upon Sound. Your Tumbling Mumbling."

And you say you're no poet? Rubbish. This is superb. I'll leave it at that. Just in case you have a headache. Asprin next to coffee.

A classic Shelley rant in poetic form. Good job you cantankerous person you.

[Shelley Holt-Lowrey]

Right? I often wonder if people wonder if I am ever just... nice.

[Zeek4]

I might be a little concerned if I noticed you hanging around the plug if I was on life support, but other than that I think you're pretty swell.

And duct tape could be put to good use.


My next door neighbor--who is a good friend--comes over to my house now and then to tell me something. It's always a long, convaluted story, and she cannot be slowed. She has to tell the entire thing before she can finally reach the point. I humor her, as sometimes one must.

[Shelley Holt-Lowrey]

Oh! We should get these two together then. They would be so busy you and I could go see a movie... a SILENT movie! I will buy the popcorn even.

I have another friend--she truly is insane--who not only tells long, convaluted stories but says the same thing over and over again. fortunately she only contacts me by phone, so I can hand up when ever I please...and I've been frustrated enough to do just that.
