'Fronti Nulla Fides' (Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover) Poem by Aaron Marchant

There's a poet flipping burgers at McDonald's
and a sculptor stacking paint at B & Q
An artist halfway through a fresco, working on the till at Tesco,
a philosopher that serves your morning brew

There's a psychologist who's labouring on the buildings
An astrophysicist that's working at the bank
There's a graduate of MENSA folding ‘smalls' at Marks & Spencer
and a quantum theorist filling up your tank

So if you're inclined to put on airs & graces,
just be sure you know who you are talking to
Don't cast aspersions on the hippie that is working in ‘the chippy'
'cause he may just know a little more than you…
