A very well-written poem about the kids perfections we all have. When we are at our workplace there is no time or a reason to interact with small talk, and no one needs to know your personal business.

This poem makes me think of my husband. He is not much of a chit chatter and when people start talking to him he inches away little by little trying to escape.

Wow! This poem is a highly descriptive, pull-no-punches explanation of how you feel about people who might try to talk to you! Hey, did you just yawn!? I'm guessing you're not on Facebook. Well, I'm not either.

Hello there Nystery writer.

Oh I just cracked up reading this. :)

I have a great book that I think you'll love. It's by Howard Jacobson and the tile of this hilarious book is called: What ever it is, I don't like it.


Very ticklish and with super meter throughout.

I wish you luck in the contest

much love

A well-written, in-your-face, tell-it-like-it-is poem. I see a little of myself in this one. Not necessarily a loner, but one who tends to be a bit more cerebral and doesn't see much value in "surface" relationships. A good entry.

I think there are definitely some days when we don't feel like interacting with people at all, I must confess that I find small-talk quite tedious. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest!

How many times can I say in one review that I enjoyed myself? That you take the words out of my mouth? six times? Just once? A hundred? You probably won't give a damn. so let me only say that I regret not having any more sixes this week.

Fair comment - small talk is a waste of space for me as well. You've put your case in a very entertaining manner, in perfect rhyme and rhythm. I especially like this: "the last dang thing I want to hear
is work crap while at work."
