Talkers and Listeners

Talkers and Listeners

My mother was the best,

Once in a while,

We would take a day,

A whole day,

And,

Talk,

I am a talker,

I have a daughter,

 Who is talker,

Her two brothers would listen,

My sons are very patient,

My sons are listeners,

I love my talky daughter,

But, she would talk,

After school,

About every nuance of the day,

At the dinner table,

One of the two boys,

Would say,

“Summarize!”

Now I have a grandson,

Who is talker, too,

He can talk us,

ALL,

Under the table,

I love talkers,

They sublimate life,

Listeners,

Give us peace,

Calm in the storm,

I love my talkers,

And, I am one,

Gracious,

Knows,

Praise be,

For the patient,

Listeners!
