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.

great pen. It wouldn't hurt if everyone would just stop and listen.

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