Loss of Hearing

Loss of Hearing
By Art Hyde

She said, “You need a hearing aid.”
I said, “I’ll take the lemonade, thank you very much.”

She asked me if my kids were grown,
I think I heard you like this song.

I said, you are quite lovely,
But her reply I never heard.

I’ve heard of those soft-spoken,
but her volume was quite absurd.

She said, “Would you like a burger?
I said, “I’m married, and shocked for that inferred!”

I’m trying to like this party,
But, narrowly heard too much,
someone said I farted,
but can’t agree to such.

I think my ears are broken,
most will sure agree,

Going to leave this party,
no one’s talking to me.
