Difficult To Remove
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Ignorance.
As one's determined mission to fulfill?
Is not too often known,
To stand up and publicly admit...
This to be their ultimate destination.
Yet, also deny stupidity has been,
The cause and reason...
Common sense and the use of intelligence,
Is found too offensive to face.
Whenever in the presence of this earned.
Shown from experiences to have learned.
Brazen, valiant and gone unphased,
Continues the display of stupidity.
Getting laughs wished and attention to get.
Although...
The attention to get this wished,
Will be difficult to remove...
A label of being thought a fool.
For a very long time.
But then...
A labelled fool may think it more beneficial,
If considered an idiot.
As some already believe this to be true.
And a step up.
For a fool rumored and alleged,
To be a gifted moron.
