I Am A Talky Poem by Shahid Saleem Butt
I Am A Talky
(Poem on talkative people.)
I am a talky;
My tongue is always itching;
To speak, of course;
You can never let it stop;
My scissory tongue, that loves to talk;
Talk, talk, talk, and continues talking;
O crazy! you can never stop;
With so many spicy, pungent, tangy, zesty, racy things to say;
These petty cell phone packages,
Are unable to satiate my desire to chat;
How can I cease to exist? How can I stop?
(in grave tone)
LIFE IS SHORT LIKE TIME,
and so-o-o-o-o-o-o many things to chat, prat, gibber and jay;
Don't you remember, I'm a talky, I'm a chatty.
..
So glad to see you edited this Shahid. Now you've made something relatable and worthy of recognition. Thank you
You say the poem is about talkative people, but you reference several times talkative girls and not guys. This makes it come off rather bigoted in my opinion. Incessant talking can get to ones nerves I suppose. Agree there. But this poem implies that only girls talk incessantly, and not only that, but that they do so BECAUSE they are girls and can't help it. It's the epitome stereotyping and it's simply not accurate. My suggestion, either massively edit the piece to leave gender out, or just pull the poem off the site. Hate to be discouraging, but this is not a good poem or a good message to send
i could not reply earlier. thanks for reading and then suggesting the way to set the things right. regards
