Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions
A fool does not delight in understanding,
But only in revealing his own mind
as dusts reveals flights of vacuous winds

So if in his mind he finds the pleasure
of his measure is his desired treasure
let him air his opinions in spadesful
for sooner or later his chickens will come
home to roost likewise as their fellow birdbrain
keeper

Some say tis better for a fool to keep quiet
and seem like a wise sage in contemplation
than air opinions confirming one is
indeed a fool in foolish tomfoolery
attention seekers are but attention seekers
and despite all done
will still not fill the voids in their lives
