Mark Twain Says

MARK TWAIN SAYS* I used to be a quiet guy. I finally found out why; I once saw a quote that stunned my brain that was writ by the great Mark Twain: "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." Yes, I know the last few lines don't rhyme. "It's just too tough to do all the time," Tis what great old Mark would have said, As he put down his old pencil of lead and started to write on his new typewriter instead. * This poem commemorates some of the profound statements of Mark Twain and the fact that he was the first author to use a typewriter on a manuscript sent to a publisher.
