Once, in a remote village
Lived Mr. Wise Fool in his hut
How very odd, he was for his age
For fire, once, his door he cut
Yesterday, he strolled by the marketplace
Carefully balancing a tray of eggs
In haste, tripping on his undone shoe lace
An egg fell, breaking right beside his legs
So, he bent with the tray in hand
The eggs in it quite forgotten
Down rained all the eggs on the sand
Making the sand smell quite rotten
Now, for the loss of one of the eggs
Foolishly, he lost a whole tray of eggs
Are we becoming wise fools?
Pennywise and Pound-foolish! Aren’t we all?
