To speak too much, to ramble on and on
To run one’s mouth from dawn to dawn
Such constant babble may get on your nerves
For words for words’ sake no good can serve
I find myself when at school
Trying to quiet classes without being cruel
“Please arrest the superfluous verbosity” I will say
But they will chatter anyway
I again to them will turn
“Stop, curtail the loquaciousness, so we can learn.”
Maybe it’s best to let them speak
Surely, they’ll be quiet when they sleep
