Notes About The Poem

'Stupid' is Not a Nice Word

Yes, I know that's not a very nice word But after the things I've read and heard My choice seems to be somewhat legit And yet, I probably shouldn't have used it But when people behave like a dodo bird "Stupid" is a nicer word than using dim wit

Except when used to describe Trump, then it's / Ten it's the only adjective that fits. / Maurice

Finding even a little humor in any situation helps to deal with it. Thanks, Duke.

That's exactly the point, Deb. People who act like dim wits don't always make the best choices. We all do stupid things at one time, or heck... often. Not to be confused with being ignorant.

Sadly many are born with the 'stupid', gene, you see it often in life, even on here. Tom

Eyes wide open, Tom. We can all do stupid things, but to BE stupid is a whole other malady.
