Smiling Thought

 

He proposed

That people shouldn’t write,

That people shouldn’t speak

Unless they had

Something profound and

Philosophical to share,

It was a smiling thought,

A world full of Trappists,

Billions of guttural

Groaners and moaners,

Which government body

Would hold the hammer,

No, no,

Give me a world

Where everyone talks

At once.
