I have a hearing problem, friends... It's old age, I suppose. Whenever harsh words come my way My ears just seem to close. I can't hear words behind my back Or mumbled way down low. No words that come through gritted teeth Have anywhere to go. When they ask "You hear what they say About you???"....I say no. They ask me, "Are you deaf or something?" I answer, "I guess so!" |

I haven't heard anything but good about you so maybe you should keep just one ear open and listen in once in a while Liz |

Balladeer, Nice one, when I don't want to hear the conversation I just take out my hearing aid. |

Wonderful write. What an attitude.It probably explains why you can smile always. Oh about the age, you are like a fine whine oops wine, a vintage crop.

Ahhh Balladeer ... this is "why" you are the best! What a great read! I had a grandfather who could hear tiny whispers through the phone line, but could just never quite hear grama yelling full tilt from the kitchen ... "selective hearing" we'd call it! Thanks for the laugh and the memory! Best wishes, /Kit |

Hey, 'Deer - does this mean you haven't been reading all these TRUE stories I've been writing? Rats... Foiled again. I enjoyed the poem, Mr 'Deer. |
