Soul searching eyes, Picking flowers and drinking wines Haunt me in the valleys of dreams, Images that last forever. Ripples of beer in thin air, I squandered my time. Ever the same, In that blue horizon I'll search and wait....

The Shortcomings of Genius
Athletes of intellect ponder difficult questions Cortex’s quiver to cerebral suggestions A genius theorises with a deepening frown Well, how come my toast always lands face down?
