A FOOL’S CAP

A FOOL’S CAP

 

It’s white and sometimes lined

and rich beyond my dreams in latency.

All humour’s there, all pathos, all tragedy,

along with images to steal your heart,

wise aphorisms and fairy tales

as well as those that end unhappily ever after,

essays better than Hazlitt’s, Montaigne’s or Lamb’s,

footnotes, glossaries and errata.

By and by I’ll fill it up.
