Just Talking ~~ a Poem for Thursday

Mutterings and sputterings;

Ever get the feeling you're talking to yourself?

Sometimes I tell myself some things

Things that really do not matter

But if you hear, well ...

My grandfather cussed a blue streak

But to me mattering?  It counts!!

To myself, I don't!!

Sometimes I do funny things,

things that are not funny at all

Though maybe to me

When I'm walking and get excited

I wiggle my thumb, it rotates

That agitates some

On the side here, are you hearing

I sing and talk outside, alone

I don't sing so good 

And sometimes I write for myself 
Them I keep in a secret place 
Locked with a password.

When I am asked, "What have you done?"

Then my smart aleck remark is,

"What haven't I done?"

My remark to them, a retort 

When their questions get specific

THAT I haven't done!!
