The Idiot

The Idiot

A long time ago there once lived a man
 Shallow spring next to his pool had a plan
 He had a dog named Jenny who used to bother him plenty
 Shaped the dreams through his thick skull
 In his thoughts he thought of a far off land with a castle in the sky
 Dungeon & dragons would often walk on by
 In this special place of homily he would often scream
 Not to be noticed he would often hide under a desk drawer
 The idiot was a grown man but acted like a boy
 Would always carry a number 2 pencil with him in his pocket
 Writing down memories of his far away land on an old book
 Old Jenny would jump on his lap to take a look
 Had a card board box outside his house to hide a little mouse
 The idiot would never swim in the nearby ocean cause of jelly fish
 Nobody knew but one day the idiot died inside his house
 Such a tragic tirn of events for such a man with a plan
 The coroner finally came with police nearby
 His sharpened pencil stuck him in his heart
 We will never forget the moments that we met the idiot
 Perhaps he was a straight shooter after all
 He had treasured a red rose that was plucked for his mother
 Yet he had yet to achieve success in any way
 Gone but not forgotten from each of our memories sway
 A note was left in his pocket with special care
 To let everyone know to honor hus sweet mother gone from here
 Although many years have passed still have a reason to grasp
 The idiot could have been any one of us you see
