Big ear, wide like a wall to a talker
Smooth listener and wave receiver. 


Big ear, wide like a wall to amp, 
Magnetic and amplifying. 



Big ear, wide like a wall 
No secret is kept..

 
Now, can we cut the ear? 
Can we use an axe to tear? 



Can we use a sword? 
To cut the wide ear like a cord? 



No restriction to speeches, 
Now we will cut the ear. 



Big ear, cut the ear, chop off the ear, 
Big wall, push down the wall. 



Too magnetic, destroy the magnet, 
Big ear is checked today.

My Analysis

This poem brings out the funny aspect in information reception. With the anxiety to capture all the speaker says, the listener seems to make his ears as wide as a wall. In stanza three, there is that irony that the ear does not reject secrets even the info that the tale bearers brand 'secret'. The ear is always disposed and ready to receive information no matter the type. One cannot stop the ear. The ear has no selection. Nothing can stop the ear from hearing. The last stanza says the ear is a magnet and magnets any sound that comes by.
