This friend of mine
This friend sometimes seems divine
As we take a walk
I can barely talk
she has so much to tell
About everything from heaven to hell.
She chats all day
And I have nothing to say.
Sometimes I really wish to vent
About an interesting event.
But when I try to speak
She talks another week.
She tells about the mountains being so tall
As if I have nothing at all.
She speaks of the oceans so far
And then she buys a new car.
She says, come, I will take you for a spin.
And I know I will never win
Even a moment of time
To tell something of mine.
We ride to the lake
And she never takes a break.
I wonder how she can even breathe
As she never stops to achieve
Even A tiny bit of listening interest
nor does she ever rest.
I am really put to the test
To stay with this talking fest.
A week went by
And by now I wanted to cry
My ears were folded into a mold
And my feet were cold.
Now all I want to do is close my head,
Run home and jump in bed.
I still love my friend
But wish to send
Her to tell
All of this to Bell.
