Motor Mouth

Babble Mouth
How he babbles babbles babbles on
friends wonder why is surname isn’t Brook
for it seemed that even the fastest stream
can't keep up with him, fish stuck on a hook
yet still sometimes he made you laugh
when you and he had time to catch a breath
and maybe even let you speak and add
a little to his steaming drizzled path
He could tell stories that even he
probably did not know nor believe
but he still would waterfall along
without pretext, deliberation to deceive
It is as if he continued to talk
his fear of loneliness would attack
and he would no longer be able
to run along his bubbling race track
Oh, our Running ceasely talking friend
somehow we all still hold you so dear
for we know we do not want to shatter
the safe hug of our affection hides his fear
Maybe the terror that holds you back
we all know in our brave personal milieu
that we do understand you well
for we live and share the fright too!
