Cool To Be The Fool Poem by gershon hepner

Some believe he’s lost his marbles
when they hear the words he garbles,
not aware it’s often cool
to appear to be the Fool.

Nicholas Kristoff writes in the NYT on September 1,2004:
Indeed, the only person who seems to provide Shakespeare's kings with sound advice is the court fool, who cannot be punished for saying unpalatable truths because jesting is his job. I urge Mr. Bush to appoint a White House fool.
