The Nature of this Beast

Although I’m not a turkey bandy
I do posses a dragon Randy
And though he sets in quiet clover
He is dear girls quite a rover.

To most I am a quite old man
With little to say and much inner scan
It all goes in and little comes out
But when it does there is no doubt.

I find a quiet mouth is best
For then you have to meet no test
You listen well for a goodly spell
And judge it from an outside dwell

Most will toss back in the stream
For most is but the bubble of seem
And notes that sound the song to hear
Are notes of fear and little of cheer?

So talk you less and listen well
And you will weave a magic spell.

Is this something like... "God gave us two ears and one mouth - So listen twice as much as you talk..."

I like your philosophy, m'friend...

Morning Sy!
LOL @ quiet moth!  And of course, you're right Sy, but quiet is such a difficult state to maintain, ya know?

Greetings & felicitations, Mr. T.!

At first glance, I thought I read, "a quiet moth"!--but I knew that I must have misread that--'cause our moth has such a wonderful mouth--figuratively speaking! LOL

Enjoyed your thoughts, Dear Sage!

'Nuff said! I'm getting back to my listening!
