SOME VERSUS SOME

Rated "G" by the Author.

Become a Fan

On stupidity, arrogance, and narrow-mindedness.

Some wear stupidity like a badge

Some display arrogance like a medal

And some sport narrow-mindedness like an emblem

Luckily, some can notice the badges of stupidity

The medals of arrogance

And the emblems of narrow-mindedness

God gave some the wits to tolerate the stupid

The common sense to eschew the arrogant

And the perceptiveness to circumnavigate the narrow-minded

Nevertheless, some are forever stuck with the stupid

Some are sadly saddled with the arrogant

And some are cruelly asphyxiated by the narrow-minded
