What could you do more of?
Intelligence is the Child's toy;
Wisdom is the Sage's beard;
Then as the beard grows
The toy is forgotten
"For what does the Sage need with toys?"
Says the Fool in dire need of a shave;
So then it's thrown into the attic
Gathering dust and degradation
The Sage knows; the Child asks;
Yet when the Fool forgets
How to play with toys, he asks
How to remember his self
