Analysis of Another Day. Another Opinion



Mmm...mmmmph...mmm.
Mm-mm mmm.

What's wrong with him?
Always there is something he has to say.
But today?
He seems determined,
To keep his mouth shut!

'He called me early this morning.
Claiming,
Whatever it takes he has to find a way...
Not to be provoked,
Into expressing his unsolicited opinions!
I laughed.
And told him that to do,
Would be impossible!'

'So...
Where are you two going now?'

'I drove over to his place.
To pick him up to hang around with us.
Like we always do.
Knocked on his door.
And he had his lips glued together.
Then handed me a note saying,
Take him to the hospital.
Because he wasn't able to say anything,
That was on his mind!'

'For real?
LOL...
Are you serious?'

'I'm telling you.
He was that determined,
Not to be provoked by anyone.
That he didn't realize,
He was not able to eat or drink a thing!'

MMMPH...MMM...MM...MM...MMMMUAH,
MM...AH!

'Oh...I understood that.
Tell him I said...
To keep my mother out of it!'

'He glued his mouth not his ears.
He can still hear you.'

'Well...
Take your time taking him to the hospital.
Before I forget,
How miserable stupidity self inflicted can be.'

'LOL.
Aw...
Are your lips beginning to itch!?
Aw...
LOL.
Poor thing.
LOL...
Go go go.
Another day.
Another opinion not heard to give.
God works in mysterious ways, huh?'
