Gaffer Tape

 

I told them you were clever,

The leader of the group:

Despite my best endeavour,

You were the nincompoop –

The halfwit of the tribe of Hunts,

The dolt, the dotard and the dunce.

 

I told them you were cunning,

A star with extra shimmer.

They thought of you as stunning:

No Toc H lamp was dimmer –

Of all the many Jeremies,

The brain most like a processed cheese.

 

I said you were a wizard,

An ace, a virtuoso:

But you, a lounging lizard,

Were hardly even so-so:

You thoughts are drizzle. They congeal.

You a dolt, an imbecile.
