The following was inspired by a class with whom I was substitute teaching this morning. They were a nice class, just had a problem with over-vocalization.

Chatterbox
My voice just takes off on me
I never plan or try.

It just pops right out my mouth
I often wonder, "Why?"

So please forgive me if I speak
When I've not had permission

It seems to happen every day;
I guess it's my condition.

What condition's that, you may ask
That causes me to rattle on?

It seems my tongue is on the go
From the early, early dawn.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Cute, Virginia! This reminds me of my granddaughter, Nicole (except not in class, in class she obeys the rules!) but sometimes she'll start talking about something, and, I swear, I am listening in the beginning, but then I catch myself daydreaming or something, and realize that she's still going at a fairly good clip ten minutes later without a breath! Kids, ya gotta love 'em! Oh, and my granddaughter, Abigail (just turned one) said Sponge Bob today, pointing at a poster of him!!! You can just imagine how precious that was!
