OBSERVATION.

On sitting and watching I have found
That all types of people do abound.
Intelligent, charming or simply alarming
Just some of the types to be found.
The talkers, the silent, the clowns,
The bores, entertainers, all mixed.
There are those that appeal, yes there are!
There are those that you hate, and that's fixed.
Those who do not speak at home
Fall on anyone who'll listen!
You can spot them very easily,
You'll see their eyes will glisten.
Those who do not want to speak,
Sit in the corner, not a word!
They're better left in solitude.
You speak, you won't be heard.
The story teller, always the same
Hail fellow well met, beware!
He'll bend your ear eternally
He'll talk without a care.
The one with problems great and small
Appears without a warning!
Be careful then, don't say a word,
Or you'll be there 'til morning!
The know it all is everywhere,
Avoid him if you can!!
He'll burn your ears, and never stop.
Let him know you're not a fan.
The misery agrees with no one.
Keep well away, he'll ruin your day.
Good or not, he's not with you,
That is, unless you pay.
The local who thinks he owns the place
Owns nothing, not a thing.
So step aside, ignore him quick.
He's gone before the bell does ring.
At last a friend, a long time mate.
We chat, a pleasure, nice to see.
But then he arrives to interfere.
The local bore, we know it's he.
