The wise man builds houses on the rock, 'Cos he once pitched tents besides the wisest, He's considered the all in all, And seen as the one with the answer, Feeling really needed he goes around, Foolishly aspiring to get all the knowledge, But slowly and stealthily the caller calls, No much ado with the knowledge welled up, Abruptly ends his quest for more. But the foolish man, oh no! He's wise Aware fully life's null and void, Puts life only on his finger's tip, Though knows not a B from a bull's foot, Wisely discerns the need of man, A word from him, broken hearts get mend, Being thrown into fits of hilarity, 'Well, hell, yes, a fool he is', they say, Team them up with the wise then they know, Life's more fun with the fool around. « return. |
