People like me, boiling over with thoughts
We talk too much for others' taste.
People for whom an excess of words
Seems too much; a thorough conversational waste
The truth be known, we chatterboxes.
Collecting knowledge's a kind of hoarding addiction,
Sadly we delude ourselves that all of you,
Are also info junkies, sharing our affliction
We're trying not to be annoying, but like a pot on a stove,
We bubble over, given the least encouragement..
We have come to suspect you don't want to hear all that,
Probably you want, for your time, some reimbursement.
So on behalf of all us ADD know-it-alls,
I'd like to extend to all of you an apology.
So I'm writing blogs and books and poems instead,
As a way to address my own pathology.
So I'm sorry.
I'll shut up now!
