Mouthy Maud

Mouthy Maud

Have you seen that new pair Maud,
Just moved down our street
Five minutes they’ve been in there, and they’re changing everything!

I think they’ve got a bob or two,
You seen that car she drives?
I mean to say, it’s all for show,
Who needs a car that size

And have you heard the latest, they’ve applied to drop the kerb,
Off road parking if you like, I ask you,
What a nerve!

The poor sod’s got his work cut out,
It’s not for me to say,
But he needs to keep an eye on her - she must be half his age

And I s'pose she’s quite attractive in a brassy sort of way!

It’s not that I am jealous Maud,
I don’t care what they’ve got,
You know that envy’s not my style,
I’m happy with my lot!

Guess what!!

I’ve had an invitation Maud, came through the door today,
Housewarming party if you like, well I’m not one to socialise
I’ll probably just pop along -
Just to be polite.

(Next day)

Well Maud, I tell you, what a do!
They laid on quite a spread,
Such a pleasant couple too, next time I’ll not listen to you,

I’ll judge people for myself instead!!!!

Honestly Maud, that mouth of yours!

lol I like how it's Maud who is supposedly the mouthy one, yet it's the other that does all the talking and assuming . . . reminds me of some folks in real life!! Nice write, thanks for the laugh.

seems always best we make up our own minds about people.. enjoyed this poem and the twist at the end. quite a wonderful read.

Wow... how you captured in this poem how fickle people are...
they say one thing,, then they change like the wind and try to
pass it on to someone else as saying the bad things... Human nature
with humor. Loved it! EXALT!

A great account of a curtain-twitcher and the turnaround at the end is very funny
