I pick up my pen

& scan across the room

These peple look familiar 

Yet I don't know who is who

I've seen them in wetherspoons

Asda

& Greggs

But what they do for a living

Well I wouldn't have a clue

I know their coffee order

& what time they go for a swim

I guess It's the perks of working here

Locally in Rushden

I see them at their worst

I see them a their best

I notice the little things

& the people who seem of interest

I know their dogs names

And that their sister has been a bit sad

They fill the silence 

Oversharing

Oh how they blab

I know that it's their sons birthday

& they've picked him up a little treat

You'd be suprised what strangers say

When you first start talking and meet
