A talkative beast
spewing half truths and half lies
confident
as the boy in your class
who always raised his hand
to mouth the wrong answer
A kettle on the boil
whistling absurdities
shrill as a woman
who has waited an hour
at the rusty tap
with a blue plastic bucket
to find the last drop
trickle away
