SITTING BETWEEN TWO STOOLS

SITTING BETWEEN TWO STOOLS


Those who prize logic, knowledge,
For them it is a rule:
They can suffer anything
But can’t suffer a fool.

When life is boring then the
Jokes are certainly cool.
But can there be humor in
What says a petty fool?

Ignorance can be sometimes,
Of mind’s torture, a tool?
But devoid of common sense,
What else can do a fool?

Who has not heard it’s foolish
To sit between two stools?
In order to prove its truth,
This is what do the fools.
