No Surprise

To be addlepated comes as no surprise;
For the addlepated know they've become old and wise;
Wise enough to sense they're addlepated, and
Sensible enough to laugh about it
So it's no surprise.

Addlepated means confused, according to my little thesaurus, so maybe addled and addlepated mean the same? Thank you for reading and your kind comment.
