A Verse For A Verbose Lad

He thinks himself a learned man,

And through vain accounts, he is right.

Though his youthful grin may betray

A naive grasp of a wider world,

He leaps forth from bounds of youth

With utmost vigour.

He is a captain among boys,

A soldier among men,

An armchair general in ambition, but

Not without dirt on his sleeves.
