The Artless Fool
Watch him now the 'artless fool'
Full of fake expression and counterfeit cool
He paints a picture of stylish health Of illusory poise and paper wealth.
The floozies swoon and the swingers flock
While the intelligentsia stand and mock
'Its all an act' they are heard to speak
All that artful bearing and imitation chic.
So watch him now the artless fool
Popular and referenced in the student pool
His prose and accent readily heard
While the truth is kept hidden, the 'artless turd'.
