My Own Ears.

A guest came in the afternoon
 was with me for an hour
it was half past noon
 as usual we had no power
sweltering we talked
nothing much in particular
 felt uncomfortable  when I asked
 certain questions in particular
 yet she  boldly answered
saying that when she requested
 I did not give a typical reply
 she took it for granted
 went her own way
 I was surprised to hear her
 I cannot believe my own ears.
