The Good Listener. Comical poem number ... by Angela Lansbury

 Do you feel that you ought to speak

You've said just proverbs all the week

And when you get a chance to say

What you think, you say cliches


It doesn't matter what you do

If great invention's not for you

Everyone needs one who listens

Small neighbours, big politicians


For many speak and just tell lies

No-one says so until he dies

So kudos goes to you and me

Who didn't say, yes I agree


Some are tall and some are small

Some are wall flowers, some are the wall

Some rise, and speak, and shout, then fall

And the wise ones say nothing at all.
