It’s not my fault
That she won’t stop
Talking.
My side of the family has never been a
Chatterbox.
My papa says nary a word.
My mama can hardly be called
Garrulous.
It is your relations who are incessantly
Loquacious.
With them one cannot get a word in sideways.
A dinner lasts three weeks.
A quarrel, half a century.
So do not come to me
Complaining
About Junior’s wordiness.
“You should listen to yourself,” you say?
Shifting blame is something
Else
Your whole family does
Pretty much endlessly.

As a rather loquacious person myself… ahem…
Well done, Missy!

So very real, isn’t it? Indeed, it seems to be a genetic trait.
Yet, I worked with a guy who spoke Italian. He was normal until on the phone with someone in Italy. Then his character changed, his arms waved as the call went on and on. Another fun one, Na’ama.

🙂 Thanks, Bill! Isn’t it amazing how we ‘collapse in’ or ‘awaken’ certain aspects of ourselves in certain situations? For example, I know several grownups (who appear functional and reasonable in daily life) who revert to petulant 12 year olds in the presence of their parents or siblings!
