Schhh! Did you hear something?

A refined gentleman

never lets his mind or eyes wander

during conversation unless....

she dictates so...

He is a very, good listener,

and most apt at well executed witticisms,

engaged periods of silence,

and being non judgemental.

He does not interrupt,

and or has never been

successfully interrupted.

Said the three wise men

sitting on a park bench;

the deaf man,

the man with selective hearing loss,

and the other man who said the wine spoke to him.

A passerby on hearing said. " Getting Sex had a lot to do with it!"

The deliberation continues....

Until the end of the poem, I thought it was about being "switched off" ..... then the light flickered.

hi norman just some cheeky humour.

Can only the deaf, physiologically or selectively, be good listeners when a woman speaks? And then only for a very ulterior motive! Andew you are so wittily funny! Love the deceptively formal language offset by the hoot at the end! Let the deliberations proceed!
