Vintage Ear (Or A Strange Question In My Inbox.)

Are you still considering vintage ear?

Does this item still catch your eye,

As it flaps in the wind, perhaps,

Having grown a little larger each year?

What is there still to consider?
Click the link, you could still be the highest bidder.

I'm sure you could make up your mind, 

If only you would try.

Let me help.  Firstly a vintage ear

Has the advantage of allowing you to hear,

Subjectively.  No need to tune in to everything.

Birds won't bother you, or your wife.

You will find

That life

Is much more peaceful, but never fear,

You will still discern

The absence of any faint click

Denoting the failure to switch off the light

When some other member of the household

Leaves a room.  You'll still be up to that trick.

And any whispering of curses under breath,

Will be absolutely loud and clear.

Vintage ear is not a disadvantage,

Unlike vintage sight.

Don't get left behind.

Vintage ear is very much the in thing

Amongst people of your age.

It vies with baldness, grey hair turning white,

Wrinkles and extra freckles

For the feature most likely to make you appear

Like a sage.
