A Noteworthy Notion
There is a faint chatter very far off and distant
Doth my ears deceive me?
This intonation cannot simply be so persistent
Like a vastitude of rattling leaves in a halcyon tree
By this I am disposed to pursue such clamor
In doing so, I am overwhelmed with much anticipation
And stroll onward in a much troubled manner
To only discover a man in anxious prostration
I curiously ask, “Sir, what is the matter?”
As the man gradually rose to his feet
He said, “They all think I’m crazy, a mere mad-hatter”
The man was a philosopher, surely discreet
A lesson I did learn, to bear fruits that are good
And to truly be great, is to be misunderstood
