A big white hat
Ecclesiastes 7:3 New English Translation (NET Bible)
3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
because sober reflection is good for the heart.
Big white hat … kind of comical
A little boy with the big white hat … Aren’t you a cute one?
A big man with a little mind … a real pain in the ass
Give me a little boy at that …to help me see my duty
But the big one won’t be mine … he’s out of my class
A child a simple gift …from God our Father
An adult just a reflection … of boiling depravity's steam
Spiritually truly fit … the children seldom bother
But the other just frustration … of the ugly and mean
The moral of this nonsense … as I gaze in the mirror
Is in this place of comfort … for the restroom is so dear
So in this world of pretense … I see self there in horror
As I can ill afford … to neglect the pot’s presence here
Go sit on it …
Jan Wienen
