A Typical Conversation
Meaningless deplete conversation
An eternity in length, though still are none the wiser,
The re-iterating of greeting and salutation.
Talk of news, of the incessant bad weather.
Inquiring, questioning as to the general health of
everyone
Though answers ever in the positive and unchanging.
Talk occasionally turning to deals one's done,
Comparing prices, those monthly, yearly ever-changing.
If known well, one may venture to offer a snippet of
gossip
Heard through the never-ending grapevine.
Conversation ebbs, to home for a sup.
Such trivial discourse shall await another time.
