Like All Art
An artist who does not practice their art,
May have a short shelf life,
Going unnoticed by the many.
So, it is with conversation as an art,
Giving those out of practice a lonely and troubled life,
As they too go unnoticed by the many.
It is wise to make conversation your number one art,
If you want some excitement in your life,
And to be noticed by the many.
Practice and age can improve most art,
So, don't expect too much in early life,
Or you will lose your place with the many.
Look to those skilled in the art,
And how it has improved their life,
They even get to choose how many.
Now look for those who gave up their art,
And closed their door on life,
You will not find them talking to many.
The subject matter may be key in how well others perceive your art,
So, don't downplay your part in life,
When talking to any of the many.
