Let not your eyes wander,
Put your mind at ease
Lend your full attention
Just listen for a bit, pretty please?
In the marketplace of old,
Conversations all about
and the only hogs allowed
had short, smelly snouts.
No soapboxes to climb upon
if you tried that, you talked alone
An equitable level of engagement
Would set the proper tone
Seek first to understand
A habit amongst the great
Likewise in the blogosphere
Eyes & Ears wide open an important trait
So with patience, fully listen
Go ahead, take your time
Premature response formulation
in some communities is a crime.
