DESTINATIONS - From There To Here and Here To There
Language Barrier
OK....
So there's the accent
Ya'll
And I do live in a place
Where
Saying I'm gonna get me some sugar
Doesn't exactly refer to
Heading for the sugar dish
Or
To the nearest grocery store
But....
You, being Southern
Too
(The gentleman part
I'm still working on)
Know whereof
I speak.
Now....
When I say
Can we talk
(Meaning most times
I talk, you pretend to listen)
How does it happen
That
You look at me like
I'm not speaking any language
You are remotely
Familiar with?
And....
When I talk to you
It's because I have
A point
(Although sometimes I wish
It was on the end
Of a very
Sharp
Stick!)
That deserves to be
Heard.
Well....
Maybe because
You are
THE LAWYER
And I am
Just
THE LAWYER'S wife
It seems to me
That when I think
You are
If not on the same page
At least in the same
Library
With me
And actually comprehending
You
Go into your
I'm pleading the Fifth!
Mode
(Of Gin, usually
In my observations).
Anyway....
At least
I can thank John Gray's book
For clearing up a few things
About our language barrier
Now that I know
All the while
I've been speaking VENUSIAN
You only understood MARTIAN!
However....
I can't help but feel
Your
Communication skills
Still
Come less from Mars
And more
From
Uranus.
