The Listeners

THE LISTENERS It don’t matter if it’s Simon Says Or part of next Friday’s science lectures Babies under one year are the best listeners. So serious is their attentive gaze. And they don’t ask stupid questions They always find your conclusion ingenious And they never doubt that you are a genius. Doubts arise years later as options.

We have twins and when they were one I could get them to be quiet if I read the new paper to them.
