Quicker Than (verse)
Study them as they talk and you will notice:
Clerics are honest, but slow.
(Poets are sincere, simple and swift.)
They listen intently, and are, you can tell,
Referring each fact, each happening or word
You tell them or show them in acting
To a plan or a scheme, to the Heaven you might earn,
A Hell which you fear (it’s assumed),
To sin and to shame, to good, bad,
Ethics and love, praise, blame, happiness and hope.
These efforts cost them time.
