Mr. Headshake,


A symbol of dissapointment, laughter, and confusion,

made for a moment to intrigue any human.

From side to side, you dart your eyes,

but are you the one who is on the rise?

Questions asked, answers told,

you will be the one to become the old.

In language, culture, and even with folly,

you, Mr. Headshake, are our greatest dolly.

You carry us through in times of need,

you give slaves to society tools to be freed.

So shake all you wish, you bashful soul,

for you are the one who will make us whole.
