THE ROOSTER AND A PEARL
(Fable)
The Rooster, rummaging a pile of litter,
Gave to a heavy lump a mighty hurl,
Spotting inside a funny queer glitter,
And found (would you guess!) a shiny pearl.
Before the hens he stepped ahead.
Shaking his little cocky head,
He said in homily disdain,
“I would prefer a fatty wheaten grain
To this unprofitable thing instead.
The stupid people have no brain
To value high what gives no gain,
I have to add.”
***
The ignorant exactly walks the path.
When seeing a thing he does not get,
To cover an impotent and hopeless wrath
He calls it useless, wrong and bad.
