Should I talk with him at all?

"Why did you do it?" 'I cannot explain' "Then say me when was it?" 'It does not pertain.' "So what do you know?" 'I cannot tell you for ever.' "Then I will be silent." 'Be if you can.' "You are disgusting." 'Look who is talking.' "Do you make laugh?" 'It is easy enough.' "I am too tired." 'You say it too often.' "But you make me crazy." 'It's all I can do.' "Can you be silent For a moment, please?" 'I was born to nag you And I cannot it cease.' "Then ears I'll close." 'It won't help you at all.' "Please, leave me alone!" 'That's impossible call.' "Why cannot I separate Myself from your words?" 'Because I pronounce What really hurts.' "Very well, then, you won once again. Say what you have And I won't detain." 'You know it well, That I say just the truth. I am the voice That tells you the news. Bad they can be Or possibly good, They are your done So be responsible, dood. You can shut me for long Or disregard what I say, But I will return to you At least once a day. I am your conscience And that's what I do, I remind your mischief, And what you should do.'

Easy flowing words set to the pen. I think guidance is all we need and we can write beautiful words as these put together giving a good message to all.

Ow Linda, how nice to get a compliment from you.
Say me, do you think that whenever I'll grow up I could write poems like you?
