Quatrain of Mouth Shut

Mouth Shut - this applies to anyone

If ye have but little knowledge
on a critical subject, do
not speak as if
adroit.

Thou will come across as a fool, explanations will be laughable
and easy to
exploit.

Nothing in life is more comical
than to watch thee clamor on,
allowing ignorance to
shine,

When there is only a cursory
understanding of a subject,
keeping thy mouth shut
takes a real spine.
