To him who hardly hears
To Trump, loudest mouth in whole world
Here, handy words, a hint unfurled,
Which, to him of tongue-loose,
Might be of little use:
‘The less you talk the more you’re heard’ –
The advice scarce asked for,
To him heeding no more,
Falls all flat, sings a chirping bird.

Note: ‘The less you talk, the more you’re listened to,’ Pauline Philips. Today it sounds almost tailored to fit Trump more than any other politician.
