The World of Bullies
You are such a dummkopf.
Okay, thanks. No, I mean it.
Thanks.
Do you know what it is?
No.
Do you want to know?
No thanks.
So the instigator tries again.
You are a lunkheaded-lame-brained, stupid wooden head.
Okay.
The instigator’s face is pink and unhappy now.
You are a hammer-headed dunderheaded-moron.
Thanks.
A weird reflection of our world is this,
if you look up the word ‘dummkopf’ there
are eighty synonyms. Any guesses how many
antonyms are listed?
Two.
Brain and genius.
This is a universal flaw,
so is it any wonder some of us are living
in an unhappy world of bullies?
