Free Advice

from the ABC set The Long and the Short of It...

I happen to know
very little, to tell the truth.
You really shouldn't
accept advice, from such as me.
One cannot ever
presume others know much better:
Who bellows loudest
doesn't have the right of it.
Idiots' counsel
costs absolutely nothing:
a market value
contained neatly in this poem.

Just a bit of nitpicking - idiots' counsel?

Thank you for the advice, Ewan. I have taken it to heart and will act on it very soon.

You're right Footsie, in transition from draft one to draft two counsel became a noun vice a verb, but the idiot author forgot the possessive apostrophe.

Good advice, thank you.
