I heart poetry...

I visited a certain king
who had a certain fool
the king was grey with wisdom got
from forty years of school
the fool was pink with nonsense
and could barely write his name
but he knew a lot of little songs
and sang them just the same
the fool was happy,the king was not
now tell me if you can
which was,perhaps,the greater fool
and which the wiser man?
poem i got from a book called Knee-Knock Rise
