John Freeman Poet Rondeau

Young and Foolish

~Young and foolish
   Full of Vodka one hundred proof
   Young and foolish
   The Vodka proof measures a fool
   Carefree times remaining aloof 
   Measured proof of foolish aloof 
    Young and foolish 

For and in Honor of Dr Ram
And “Contest Rondelet” 
 By John Moses Freeman
