The Genius
I wish I was a simpleton, the all-knowing said to me.
Tickling me so much I almost slapped myself on my knee.
She is a genius, she tells people all the time, as far as she can see.
My intellect is too brilliant to measure, she says with weird-like glee.
A simpleton would say something like this, if you ask the likes of me.
But what would I know? A genius I shall never be.
