Sweet Talking Poem by Robert Sheridan

Sweet Talking



Nothing in common - uncommon
Wasted affection - it's the little things
Appear to be listening - falls on deaf ears
Think by the inch - talk by the yard
Sleek elegance - small means
Talk softly - carry a big schtick
See the mouth - watch the eyes
Humanize - speak to be understood
Slow down - can't get a word in
Warms the heart - chills the bones
Don't call me - I'll (not) call you.
