THE FOOL

 

THE FOOL

By Ghanim Anaz

Have you met a proper fool?

Rude and stubborn as a mule?

The scull is massive and numb

But as hollow as a drum

 

 

The physique is the picture of health

Though modesty condemned to death

The appearance is quite impressive

Pity the manners are so aggressive

Flaunting an air of importance

Reaping ridicule and annoyance

Though, his voice is loud and clear

The views are rarely worth the ear

Still, during debates, he will speak

And imagine himself quite unique

But those of us who know better

Would walk away and mutter

Fools! Will always be fools

Despite colleges and schools
