Coffee Group Revisited

Coffee Group Revisited
By Larry R. Linville

My coffee group has problems
trying to talk to the guys.
Communication suffers
as we try to tell our lies.

The things we think we have said
may use a different word
than what we thought we had said
and what the others heard.

We know what we meant to say
but now we begin fearing
what the others will think
because they’re all hard of hearing.

Our talk about politics
doesn’t change by what we say.
It matters not what is said
we don’t listen any way!
