Ode to a Less than Demure Acquiantance of Mine

She needs no introduction - she speaks for herself
in a voice audible from Hawaii to Guelph;
she’s a gold medal cert at the Loudmouth Awards,
she’s the girl with the big gob and vast vocal chords.

She trumpets her trivia like it’s the news
of a triumph at 22 new Waterloos
and immediately everyone stands and applauds
the girl with the big gob and vast vocal chords.

The corridor quivers, the office is rent
by what sounds like a dread cataclysmic event,
but it’s not the approach of barbarian hordes,
it’s the girl with the big gob and vast vocal chords.

It’s quieter now, though it still perseveres,
since I took a machete to each of my ears -
for no nuclear warhead or army of swords
can silence her big gob or vast vocal chords.

She brays like a buzz-saw, now distant, now near,
as insufferable as she is insincere;
oh emptiest vessel, most brazen of broads,
oh girl with the big gob and vast vocal chords!

    KE - there you go again, spouting off. We wouldn’t need to invite her over since she only lives about 50 blocks from us.

    hjb - you are the very apogee of demure.

    negrito - gob = English slang for mouth. Also for spit / phlegm, but in this case, mouth.

    The flirtation with the longer line makes this sound faintly music-hall Victorian: I think you should set it to music and do a stage turn.

    Try it to the tune of ‘The old main drag’ by the Pogues - it works for me.

    incunabulist is right. I’ve been listening to the Pogues all week on my personal minidisc - won’t be able to hear that song now without putting your fabulous words to the tune.
