Today’s words are sponsored by my very good friends, who have the delight of listening to my waffly Whatsapps.
Thank you for your messages
And for asking how I am.
I’m glad you’re having a nice day,
Although, it was anything but calm.
With all the stories you mentioned
You made me snort with laughter!
I make a mental note of that
“I must get back to that after!”
I can tell you need to talk some more
But my reply is all about me.
Let’s pretend it’s a “welcome distraction”
That I’m not acting selfishly.
Let me tell you about my day instead
And who said what at work!
I briefly remember something you just said
…wait, who was being a jerk?
What should I do for dinner?
Please! Give me some ideas!
I can’t really be bothered to cook actually
Oh, and when are we going for beers?
I know I’ve missed important things
And I promise I’ll get back to them,
Like all those things I said I’ll show you
But the pictures never come.
I hope I’m a better friend to you
When we talk to each other in real life,
You’ll have my undivided attention then
Over a wee glass of white wine.
Right then, I’ll love you and leave you!
…Also, what are you having for tea tonight?
