Poem★★★
It doesn’t do to do much talking when
You’re mad enough to choke,
For the word that hits the hardest is
The one that’s never spoke.
Let the other fellow do the talking
Till the storm has rolled away,
Then he’ll do a heap of thinking ’bout
The things you didn’t say.
The point
Advises staying silent in anger, since unspoken words never wound and often earn later respect.
