their story

        she talked talked talked
        then married
        his confidence
        his cocksure ways

        she kept talk-talk-talking
        for the next twenty years
        till she broke down
        that damn confidence of his
        that cocky style

        these days
        she plays mean darts
        drinks beer
        talk-talk-talks to poor bastards for miles
        searching for the brimming confidence
        for the cocksure smile
