S is for Socrates

is for Socrates

A wise man was Socrates, the greatest

philosopher of his age, his test

of three - useful, good, and true

made idle gossip taboo,

but that isn’t always for the best.

Socrates was clearly no Othello -

an entirely different kettle, that fellow,

and his take on gossip and wives;

and the sudden taking of lives

minus due diligence using a pillow.

Neither good nor bad can be absolute

perceptions change, so the point is moot

it doth one gobsmack

how Socrates could lack

the pea-size glob of sense to work this oot.
