Just A Dunce

It's always fun to be a dunce

And let life go its merry way.

I can never be thought of as clever;

I leave that to those who are.

 

But with my silly grin I sit

In the corner for the fools.

I never was a smart aleck

How could I, a dunce.

 

Nobody had high expections

Of where I would end up.

That made life so easy

As accolades later came my way.

 

Somebody always feels sorry,

For the guy with the pointed hat.

They don't threaten anybody,

Because they're just a dunce.

George, you're awesome observer...your excellent poem
proves it and shows your sense of humour.
It's sooooo true. Respect is rarely given to those who are
smartest, brightest or wisest. Accolades are for those slightly
better than mediocre. It's the Short Neck Syndrome.
Most people can't crane far enough to spot the truly tall
poppies so they focus on the flower that are just about
their own heads. Thankfully... not always.
With warm regards Isabella.
