Socrates, as he is known,
talks of his wisdom
speaks of his knowledge
with an air.
Pride being his virtue
he tells us of his reading
the scriptures, A scholar
of note helps him to understand.
Knowing him well for the past years
I suppress my surprise when one
of his kin comes up with Socrates’s
versatility.
Refraining from exposing
his ignorance, I put forward
a message he had sent
to his brother.
A four worded one
where the words misspelt
give out a meaning
most adverse.
It reads “receive
and kill the donor”
while it should have been
receive and thank the donor”
This being most obvious
in the vernacular. I find
it hard to present the
same in English.
