Being Stupid

Unintelligent people are smart
To take their dim-wittedness to heart.
Being doltish is not what they wish.
Inferiority thoughts, they should squish.

It's a wise man who knows he is thick,
Simple-minded, and not very quick.
If a harebrained thought enters in,
It's preposterous to think it's a sin.
            

An astute person knows he is dense

And will offer no show of defense.

Better far, uninformed to admit

Than adding cuckoo to a twit.

If you're air headed, obtuse and dumb,

Idiotic can make one quite numb.

Still, the mindless can always improve

If from illiterate they can move.

 

 

But, for screwballs and wackies, take heart!

Don't be vacuous! Today, make a start!

Prove to people that zany and mad

Are the knucklehead traits to be had!

All the bubbleheads will quickly step up!

There'll be "Lunatic" T-shirts and cups.

And then nutty will be the new fad.

Celebrate! Being stupid's not bad!

In My Quiet Day

It's a still and quiet day.

I have no urge to play.

The work I have will wait

In my still and quiet state.

No outside noise comes in.

No commotion and no din.

I watch the soft sun shine.

This quietness is all mine.

Here, quietly I sup

From my favorite coffee cup.

With comfort now I look

At my favorite, holy book.

 

 

 

 

Is serenity a sin?

Should my work I now begin?

May I spend more time with You?

One more minute or two will do.

In my quietness I know

I've no happier place to go

Than to spend my day with care,

Knowing He is always there.

So, I stay in my silent state,

Thankful Jesus is my fate.

I grow quieter, more still.

Ah, yes. This is Jesus' will.
