Ear to Ear
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Is it much to ask?
Your listening.
Your giving me the floor.
Few have time
Or decent interest.
Rather see it quite a bore.
But in times past
We might sit still
And delight in
Friends’ exchange.
And somehow we
Meet this hour Cam
As if all were
Pre-arranged.
There are pains now
And some questions
Man to man.
Yes, that’s the stuff.
And your kindly Ear
Is at the ready.
Proving much more
Than enough.
