Just a Bowl of Soup

more of a word salad really....

Just a Bowl of Soup

 

I am not what

You think I am

Or who

I am a great big

Bowl of soup

Nothing more and

Nothing less

Tis true

 

Wow

 

I hear you say

Now there’s

A blooming thing  

Why what and how

My word you are

A nosey side salad

Spill the beans

Why dont’cha

 

Okay

 

Since tomato’s

Are

The in thing right now

And I’m not thick

Enough to be a stew

I just wanted to let

You know I love you

How can you communicate with someone who is using word salad? Their communication doesn't make sense, yet they understand what they mean. In this dialogue the most important thing I can see is the final two lines " I just wanted to let you know I love you". Word salad must cause a great deal of frustration. You always get me thinking Neville. How do ya deal with it?

It is often the source of much consternation, frustration and uncertainty.... with practice and some luck.. it might be possible to find important key words and use them like stepping stones to move forward and understand what is being said... not always possible and often the stream is so disjointed and unintelligible so as to completely confound the listener... a bit like my attempt to answer ya question.. you beautiful orange courgette....
