Do us a favor

Blithering idiots, 
do us all a favor 
and shut up. 

Wait. 

Then you'd seem dignified 
and wise, 

standing there 
more than taciturn. 
Nodding sagely, omitting
the dumbest lies and most
everything else. Taking in all
said with listening eyes,

and a kind mannered smile,
knowing nothing you say would go half
so well as this best trick you've found
in so long a while. Know what?

Do a favor, keep
blithering
away.

Good to know! 
Never change
that style,
okay?
