Someone told me a story once About a genius and a dunce Both had stories, both had problems Both would whistle while they worked And while each resigned to their own corners Which to us would seem like borders They sure could learn a lot From each other But would they ever meet and greet In the fields or in the street Maybe in another life Maybe on a desert island And if stranded on some plot of land Surrounded by sea, ice or sand Maybe they could help each other Both can tie knots like an expert
