Please don’t be a talk-o-matic,
Entering a place!
It’s really unattractive,
And it interrupts the pace.

Just pay some true attention
To listen and to note
What’s going on around you
Before you rock the boat.

‘Cause if you’re all a-chatter
Before you even hear,
That’s why the people scatter
And cover up their ears.

If you want them to listen,
You must offer them the same.
There’s more gold in the silence
Than the words we say in vain.

Please don’t be a talk-o-matic!
I’m not afraid to beg.
Self-centered, constant prattle
Sends good people on their way.

Sound or Silence Choice
