1159 - For whom the jingle bells toll


Company Christmas Party on Friday.
The music was too loud to talk.
I am too old to put up with it.


For whom the jingle bells toll.

"No man is an island"
I can relate to the meaning inferred
But such wisdom departs
When the dance music starts
And no-one can hear or be heard.

  2. I laughed. I'm getting to the age where I prefer the music turned down, thank you very much. I still love to dance, but quiet and conversation are nice too.

  5. LOL. Lovely to see you, Cosmo. I'm with you. Loud noise just doesnt cut it any more. I prefer silence, much of the time.

  7. Oh the party ceases to be fun when the volume is turned up either with music or loud conversation...I seek the solitude of the island.

  8. Ah for those days when one could have a cocktail with friends and engage in quiet conversation while background music softly plays! I loved your rhyme!
