Does it never shut up?
Or close its great trap?
The constant verbal assault
of its spewed oral crap!
Can it just make its point?
Simply answer what’s asked?
A response that is brief,
or is that too great a task?
In its general direction
don’t even dare look.
Unless you WANT the history of rust,
both chapter and book!
Verbal Diarrhea
from its mouth it does run.
Until you drown in the deluge
of its verbiage tons.
V.D. of the mouth with no stopping in sight.
There’s no end to this tunnel
and certainly no light.
For silence,
you realize that all hope has left.
So just give up on dying, and pray God
STRIKES YOU DEAF!!

Author notes
Some of you might recognize someone like this in your own world. I know I have my moments but this is not a permanent state for me. My friend is the one who never shuts up. She evens talks in her sleep.
Please tell me what you think

injoyable read. I have a certain family member much like this. I like the sense of humor you incorperate into it.

yes i've known people like this. the worse case scenario is having to work with one!
what i hate even more is when i realize that it's me who sounds like this

HA! This is very creative and well-written! Yes, I do know what you mean!!!

Like the Direct Tone
With recognition comes the recollection of what it's like listening to some one, including myself, speak like this....ugh!
"Cacophony" is the perfect title. It captures both the sound and feeling.
This is very well structured. The structure just slightly separates each idea enough to protect without interfering with its expression.
Very interesting subject matter and well handled. Bluebird
