Respect It Is Earned

Respect it is earned and cannot be won
Words of the wise woman to her grandson
The praises of fools by too many are sung
We should learn from our mistakes of when we were young
The leading barracker in the town's football club
Does have the loudest voice in the local pub
And yet of admirers he has quite a few
On that fools look up to fools there is nothing new
By listening we learn it does seem this way
The town's wisest person is one with little to say
If you are not open to knowledge such you cannot receive
On such a philosophy one has to believe
The town's wisest person a good listener for to give her what is her due
I only say of her what i believe to be true.
