In my youth’s frolic at King Lear and Pi,
its games I’d play and against rules I’d rail.
Not algebra, not prose did edify
yet time and test we must pass lest we fail.
To learn and open closed minds to ideas
but I learnt before a fall cometh pride
with a conspiracy one alone bears
yet co-conspirators had much to hide!
For each lame alibi concealed misdeed,
each mad sedition blotted my ledger
but we all did a true life lesson heed -
one of Risk and Fate in equal measure.
Comic is the jester and clown in school
but I see now that I was no wise fool.
Written: May 1992

and I am just 16 years old.
