A Wise Fool
Some say my mongrel’s very wise,
some say a fool.
Were you to look into his eyes
you’d hold with those who call him wise.
But if you do not want a pool
of slobber on you while you eat,
don’t have your lunch around that fool.
He’ll get your meat
or you’ll get drool.
Verse Versus Prose
Some say that verse is truly great,
some say it’s prose.
Since verse will make me salivate
I hold with verse: it’s really great!
But were the scribes to recompose,
I think I’ve read enough reports
to say that I become from prose
quite out of sorts
with a runny nose.
