A wise man listens more than speaks
A problem he can halve
Do months of work in less than weeks
And make the saddest laugh

He uses brains to conquer brawn
Sheds light on darkest times
And seldom is 'to manor born'
His speech the sweetest rhymes

But who will listen when he's down?
When answers aren't forthcoming
When he is wearing frightful frown
His head so full and humming'

My guess.. the wise man stops to think
He weighs up all the odds
And never ventures to the brink
Like many selfish God's

He takes such issues in his stride
Reviews the situation
And when he's laughed and maybe cried
He takes a long vacation !
