Adult Conversation
Lets say you want to take up
Sailing, or golf, or bookkeeping,
Do I say “Great” ? or do I have
To say things like “how much will
It cost”? and “ how much time will
It take you to drive to the river/
Traverse the green with the boys/ study at Birkbeck
After work”? Do I have to, at some
Point, say things ( in a passive aggressive way)
Like “ and if you’re on your catamaran
Who will pick up the children from the party/ if you’re staying at the club
To have a post round drink I guess I’m the one picking up the dinner then/
If you’re studying so hard and now have such supreme knowledge, maybe you can work out the equation that explains why I don’t love you anymore”?
And all this because you wanted to mess around in boats
“There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, so half as much worth doing
as messing
about in boats “
