Math Of Folly Poem by Douglas Scotney

One French term for 'the brain'
is translated as 'the sack'.
What you hold in your brain
is what you know,
is what you sack.

As far as I sack,
a 'fool' in France
is all that a 'corniaud' is;
but a 'cornichon'
is both a 'fool' and a 'gherkin'.

To my sack therefore,
it's better to be called a cornichon
in France, than a corniaud.

...Nowhere near twice as good though.
to be that a cornichon would have to be too,
say, a rainbow.
