Small Talk

Small Talk

Let’s talk about the weather
Now that would be just fine
Or talk about our families
Or the latest bargain wine

What about your holidays
Have you got them planned
Are you going up a mountain
Or just lying on the sand

Now what about the football
Or the next Olympic Games
Perhaps the latest celebrities
If we could recall their names

What’s happening in Corrie
Or some other TV soap
The rising cost of living
And how you’re losing hope

It’s good to talk – or so they say
So get things off you chest
It doesn’t matter what it is
Put small talk to the test
