As I have wondered through the halls of old,
the minds of famous scribes in academia
had made me fearless, oft carelessly bold
when Mind betrayed lexical anaemia.
Soon baying at the Moon as it weeps,
a different view, depending on aspect.
The wisdom I crave inexorably seeps,
but seldom culminates into respect.
The misprision's become my badge of honour
as hyperbole swills in lexicon o’ Man.
Long years of uninformed populous dour
with magniloquent thinking that poetry can.
Yet I contemplate books in warehouse—
dyslexia transformed it into ‘wh…house’—
endless mirth that others could never douse.
Stupid is, as Stupid does:
And then there is Stupid;
That Stupid never was.
Stupid had a moment:
Where Stupid had a Choice;
But, Stupid never did:
Cause Stupid never Voiced.
So, this Stupid that is talked about:
Stupid, it; had something to say.
But, it is Clever: this Stupid did shout;
Cause I saw this Stupid shout it anyway.
Stupid ran all over the place:
Stupid would run, run, run;
But not a trace, this Stupids haste.
Stupid is running everywhere:
Even Stupid ran, in its despair;
Stupid never gave up, in its pace:
Stupid was never in such a race.
Stupid can be cruel; perhaps, Stupid is a Fool:
But do not think that; Stupid isn't Cool;
Cause, some of the Stupidity out there Fuel;
Sometimes we as human uses; Stupid; as a Tool.
Proudly exclaiming the benefits
Apposing thumbs and a superior intellect
we as human beings are in possession of
Isn't it then amazing and inconceivable
How amazingly stupid and gullible
we are
Like for instance paying out hard earned
money over in order to purchase a book
Shamelessly entitled
How to Win the Lottery
By someone who has no quams admitting
HAVE NEVER IN FACT ACTUALLY EVEN
WON THE LOTTERY THEMSELVES
Or come close or have any evidence or
basis to back this theory up
And not only buy it in the 1st place but
read it and buy into it as well
I often wonder if our family pets must
sometimes look at us and think
Seriously
Who on earth though it was a good
idea to leave you in charge
And are you taking me out for a walk
or am I just indulging you
Maybe that's why I take the lead
Because your not obviously capable of being
left to your own devices
Without guidance
Stupid is as Stupid does
There was a Man without a plan
He wanted to be great and lead
People voted for him without heed
He made promises he could not make
So He ran on the saying
Make America Great again
Fools Belived what He said
Voted for him to be a Leader
And so he won this very high place
He said without a flinch or blink
Here is what I think I should do
Anyone different from Me is not good
Now He spreads hate without remorse
Thinks some people should not be Humans
All because they are not like Him
Takes Children away from Mothers
How can anyone tolerate such evil being done
I do hope that many wakeup from this one
We must do what is right for the good
In the end it is Us against this
1. To save the environment, lets blow up an oil rig and dump 200,000 gallons of oil
in the ocean and kill ocean life...sound like a plan my fellow environmentalist?
Yeah lets show them!!
2. Jump on somebody that I don't know just cause I won't have to answer to my
friends tomorrow, for my stupidity. Call them a few choice names because I am a
shallow, narrow minded person and laugh like I have conquered terrorism.
3. Sit on a limb that I am sawing away from a tree...
4. there is a law about to be passed that makes it illegal to ride in the left lane
except to pass... Lets think about this...interstates have 4-6 lanes if all the cars had
to stay in the right lane, It would take forever for everyone to get to work...duh!!
Just some thoughts to ponder...
