small talk

small talk
dedicated to kathleen

roger a. davis

lovely weather we’re having
looks like it could rain
did i tell you about my latest pain?

gas prices, oh my, 2.95
dread my next electric bill
did you read about the scandal on capitol hill?

my daughter just had a baby girl
a wee lass called erin
on our soap, did bill leave karen?

topics open for discussion
tv, weather, health, gossip and family news
on survivor, who did they choose?

let us go out for lunch today
give me a cheeseburger and fries, too
did they raise prices on the menu?

they say chitchat is harder for men
ladies seem to be totally at ease
we were taught, "thank you and please"

now in our small talk
try to remember to say
"you all have a good day"
