One of life’s greatest pleasures is
to walk among stacks of lists,
ideas, fictions, fantasies
opinions, thoughts, and dallancies
Whose mind will I step into next?
Teach me, touch me, or leave me vexxed?
The questions arise by the dozen,
which is art and which a bludgen?
The endless treatise stare with intent,
adorned with promises of time well spent
But I know better. Using my guile
I know what will frustrate what will make me smile
I mangle and contort an ancient adage
to avoid me suing for mental damage
And accurately choose a mind-blower
Is to always judge a book by its cover
