A Fool's Pride Poem by Tony Adah

A fool's head is full of pride
Everything he does makes him proud
And his head full of something empty
He only knows about
The world spins lazy in the fool's eyes
And he alone has the magic wand
All normal things look more abnormal
In his sight
He laughs at the hen's knees
Behind its legs
But he's gullible and can be
Chosen to count the lion's teeth
Where lies the danger he doesn't know
Until a roach finds solace
In the chicken's crop
And sobriety late returns to where
He was needed most
