I Saw a Fool

There are many in this world young and old there is no color or gender nor fashionable style that tells you all there is need to see A circus may have many clowns a murder many a foolish crow the white house full of condescending frowns No matter where you go fools will always dance and jump they love attention the spotlight on their acts of show Now you may ask how I know? should I tell you, or run and go meekly here, a confession true I am the biggest For in the mirror I saw a fool

as mom always said, you can get a horse to water but it may not comprehend its' own reflection. never expect that logic is coherent to the man in the mirror. unfortunately among the men in the mirror cognitive acuity, as with common sense, is not common.

Arthur--your poem reminds me a bit of Micheal Jackson's song "Man in the Mirror." I find that if I'm not willing to look in the mirror and reflect, I'm no better than a fool participating in the illusional circus. I enjoyed your poem. Wishing you a wonderful day, Sara

Very amusing Arthur, the longer that times runs on, the more the mirror makes fools of everyone… Belle

A lot of the time, you're supposed to play to the top of your intelligence, as truthful as possible. But when you're on stage making people laugh, you're still acting. - Ben Schwartz :D
