Ah, dullard
What a wonderful word
A lovely invention
Of the English world

Single-minded people who are judgmental
Self-righteous folks who know very little
Why engage them in battles
Just give them the grand title

Yes, dullard
Such a useful word
A handy weapon
In the brave new world

ApprehensionWhat tropical fruit are you?

I like the referrence in your poem. Great job.
Spring must have affected your poetic feather.

Thanks. As for spring and feather, I am no moorhen, baby.

I know you wish you were, bunny.

A weapon? I must like self-mutilation, because I use "dullard to refer to myself with regularity, if not frequency.

Nice poem. I will be honoring judgmental and self-righteous people with a grand title all day, today.

Nice of you to chip in.

Was feeling rather chipper.

In that case, take a new test (in the next post).

I just noticed in the Home section, where you click on "more" next to the little bunch of photos, that you have a bunch of yours scattered through the 3 pages of shots ... congratulations!

I was just updating them adding some new shots here and there.
