If you cannot speak kindly
Do not speak at all.
If you have no knowledge
It’s best to be quiet.
If you’re awesome, just zip it.
If you’ve a story, just skip it.
Shutting up is amazing…
Please try it!

The Sound Of Silence
Imagine for a moment
No one ever spoke again.
You think it would be scary…
Either that or very zen.
The real situation
Is somewhere between the two:
It’s just stomachs imitating
Horny whales saying “Howdy do!”

On The Importance Of Proper Labeling
I hear the sound of fallen snow
Like the moment before applause,
The echo of previous silence,
A silent question’s pause.
My ears softly ring
From what’s no longer there.
And I silently sigh inside myself
And lie back in my chair.
Where once I was an emperor,
A man respected, feared,
For whom the wicked trembled
And for whom the righteous cheered,
Now I sit, a man alone,
Completed in rebirth.
In the silence now I tell myself
“I thought the other button nuked the Earth!”

Ooh (with a silent H) Burn
Salmon has a silent L.
Nothing has a silent Q.
I wish I were like the word “vague,”
That is, with a silent U.
