The Noisy But Happy Old Dear

She talked loudly to her friend the gray haired old dear The story of her weekend I could not help but overhear As I sat in the cafe drinking a coffee They gossiped away quite oblivious to me Her friend younger and quieter though her hair too was gray Sat listening intently to what her friend had to say She said last night at the bingo two hundred dollars I won My wins big or small I do share with my son I've heard it said some people talk loudly if of hearing they are impaired She did not seem to be aware of the presence of others not that she would even have cared Excited about her weekend her bingo win brought her great happiness That she was the noisiest in the cafe it did seem she couldn't care less That she did have a marvellous weekend she wanted everyone for to hear As she chatted to her quiet friend of her wonderful weekend the noisy but happy old dear.
