John Lawless Poet Limerick

Short Cuts

SHORT CUTS

(*with apologies to Albert Einstein}

The tonsorial master said trim it
the dunce in the chair shouted skin it
the difference in coif
like the difference in thought
is that genius acknowledges limit*

*”The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”
