Hey, the Tuesday Chatter Cafe is humming with chatter! Join me at the cafe where the world is muted at eleventy o’clock. Enjoy your cuppa as we chat about backward apostrophes, upside down commas, and dwell on ideas that are pure twaddle.

You’ll never guess what we saw

While hitchin a ride on the seesaw

Guffaw guffaw where’s the flaw

Guffaw guffaw where’s the law

 Noodle the thought of what you’ve been taught

Don’t doubt yourself over what you have sought

Boom shhhocka locka morrows can’t be bought

Don’t muddle the puddle lest you get caught

Life’s an ongoing school three coins in the pool

Zip up your mouth and don’t be a fool

Don’t etch your mind with splintered echoes

You may lose out on the mellow yellows

Buy yourself a pair of stilettos

And rise above those morbid fellows
