The Elephant In The Room Poem by Ray Mather

Hi
Hi
How are you doing?
Fine. Yourself?
Good
I just wondered... you know...
What?
You know...
Oh, that – it’s fine now
Good, Good, Good
Grown a thick skin
It’s the best way
I’ve moved on
I’m pleased.
Thanks for asking
Don’t mention it
Just got to work on the memory now
Yeah, things like that stick in the mind
They do. Yes, they do
Well, got to go
Nice talking to you.
Yeah, you too.
Thanks for your concern
Don’t mention it
Don’t mention
Don’t
