I DO not care a single wink
To hear, my friend, what you may think.
I’ve heard opinion till I’m sore
Please do not give me any more.
Your syllogisms all are weak.
You slip the track whene’er you speak.
Too many people think, of late,
And not enough of them think straight.
What do you know? I wait to hear
A tale of knowledge ringing clear.
If you have anything to say
That puts a new light in the day,
That makes me feel because of it
The world is changed a little bit,
Then speak. I hark with eyes aglow,
If you will tell me what you know.
