Say that I am a fool - and don't I know it?
Say I am silly, and I must agree,
That I'm absurd, and I'll admit I show it,
A clown - confirmed, and in a high degree.
Observe my every action and decree
That it is obvious I seek out folly;
There is a lack of sense keeps lurking me,
Guyana to my hopeful Walter Raleigh,
And I keep sending volley after volley
Of silliness to counter it, which breeds
Only more of it, for it is jolly
When hit by foolishness, the thing it needs
To live. So I'm a fool. I know it's true
But I am happy in my folly too.
