The Whistler.

You can hear him whistle gaily

As he walks along the lane.

The tune that he is whistling

Is every day the same.

It drives me mad his whistle

I'd tell him if I dared.

I only wish he'd go and get

His hearing aid repaired!

Excellent as always Don. Xxxx

People that don’t wear hearing aids are probably wondering what it’s all about. 😂

[Katinka46]

Love it. Actually people don't whistle any more do they? Why not? It used to be common to hear people whistling as they cycled to work (chose that deliberately as that too is a thing of the past).

It's very hard to make a sound when you don't have many teeth

i think iv'e been the victim of the famous whistle thief

Gummy Ski's and a cat with fangs xx

I believe male building site workers still do. 😉

[Dubba61 in reply to Katinka46]

I try to whistle around the house, it's apparently good for breathing control. 😊✌️🌻

It's really about hearing aids, Fran, they whistle if they are not fitted right. Reminding you of the Old Grey Whistle stop is a bonus, though my nostalga goes back a good bit further than that.

[mrsmummy]

I get it Don. I have a very musical husband.

[Lilian226]

I wish my husband whistled, he won't wear a hearing aid so I have to keep repeating myself, he says I don't speak clearly enough, he can't hear anyone else either. Grrrr. Lilian xxxxx

[joyce74 in reply to Lilian226]

You've described my husband to a tee, Lillian, if the phone rings while I'm busy he passes it to me to answer, usually caller hung up by then. TV so loud it drives me mad 😡 especially when he falls asleep holding remote.

[Lilian226 in reply to joyce74]

We have the same problem with the phone Joyce, but fortunately he does wear head phones for the TV. I do miss having a normal conversation without having to speak up or having to keep repeating myself. I think also, as Hacienda says, he has selective hearing. Lilian xxxxxxx

[joyce74 in reply to Lilian226]

One daughter says her dad has selective hearing probably right xx

[Annie31 in reply to joyce74]

My husband asks me who that is on the phone before I've even picked it up!! So annoying!.....and he's the same with the TV and remote as yours. It bugs me no end, especially when it's something he watches that doesn't interest me and then gals asleep - it must be very interesting!!😬

[Hacienda]

My hubby has selective Hearing!!! I think most men do, they whistle to cover their "Deafness"When talking to them 🙉🙉🙉😈😈😈

[WheezyAnne]

Oh that is so funny - maybe more so because my partner whistles (not the same tune I hasten to add), and sometimes he hits those notes which really irritate. He has Tinnitus and has a hearing aid which he won't wear because he says it hurts his ears. He has been back to Audiology a few times, and needs to go again.

Thanks Don-Rhymer.

Good one Don

I used to whistle a lot until my boss said, 'A whistling woman and a crowing hen are neither use to God nor men.' It put me right off whistling!! Now my hearing aids do it for me if I forget to switch them off before laying them next to each other. xx Moy

It’s clever how hearing aids chat away to each other isn’t it. You can’t change one without the other. 🤫
