The Simpleton

Look at that perfect simpleton,
Life goes on, he gives not a care,
I wish I were a simpleton,
As I sit in this dunce chair.

with you all the way to that corner, Jerry..
yes, it would be simpler, so much simpler
not to give a flying...and more importantly,
not to know how

Remembering "Simple Simon"
(reading your poem *Jerry*)
who had not a penny for a
pie and instead went fishing
for whale..

four short and great lines to reflect how nice it would be if we could simplify everything.

To live a simple life would be grand, but a simpleton?? not sure.

Peace, love and light,

You a simpleton? Never happen; not even in a corner! Your writings are too alive as with a beating heart and a head of perfect sense!

I stood in the corner, not for being a simpleton, I was in kindergarden and I wouldn't participate in singing...

this speaks for so many of us overwhelmed with 'the knowing'...right to the point of all our frustrations jerry...

Of simple minds they have no cares
It is of the intelligent mind that
sits not wishing to ponder his
thoughts in that situation for the
intellect does care :)

Simply put Jerry :)

He's not politically correct any more. One day in the simpleton's shoes would be enough.

My thoughts exactly, Jerry. I am very much the dunce in the corner but even I feel sorry for the simpletons so lost in their own arrogance and "learning" who haven't a clue just how little they know and understand about life and how it works. Am in awe of the accomplished compression and concision of this delightful gem and wisdom's pearl. xx

I wish I didn't care so much as well.

Love ya!
