Monopolizing the conversation
Not allowing anyone to get a word in
Sir I’d say respectfully, please step down
From your soapbox and hear what others have to say
A monologue is fine if only you have to listen
You can have a soliloquy with yourself always
But when in company, a dialogue is preferred
Say your piece if you must but listen to others too
Otherwise this may be the last party you’ll be invited to
For nobody like a person who won’t allow others to
Express their opinions as freely as you have done yours
➰➰➰

Your prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “starts with mono.” Find a word that starts with “mono” and use it in your post. Enjoy!
Written for Linda’s SoCS- Mono

So true, Sadje. Don’t hog the conversation … a conversation has to be 2 way – an exchange
Have a great weekend Sadje 😀

But it gets boring after a time, unless it’s in a lecture hall.

Ah, you have found the reason why I have disengaged from a few different groups. I never felt listened to. We have two ears so we need to listen twice as much!
