Analysis of He listens intently…
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
I’m listening
Yes really
My ears are all your yours.
I’ve stopped all distraction
And all of my chores.
Your face bespeaks troubles.
I won’t condescend.
So just tell the story.
Right through to the end.
A friend has this function.
While others rush round.
You’ve found one in me.
Yes found solid ground.
