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'.
