Default Wise men no nothing


I found
the wisest man
on earth
yesterday

He told me I could ask
any question
and he
would know the answer

Where are you? I asked
In a coffee shop! he smugly replied

Where is that?
In
London

Where is that?
In
England

Where is that?
In
Europe

Where is that?
On
planet Earth

Where is that?
In
the milky way

Where is that?
In
the Universe

And where is that?
Silence

Wise man, please tell me.
Silence

Answer me! I demanded
I don't know! he replied.

But you're a wise man
And you don't even know where you are?

Wise man - you're not so wise
My pet cat is more wise than you

Why? He angrily spat
Because she doesn't know where
she is either
And she doesn't care

Ignorance is bliss? That's what I get reading this. I liked it.

Very sage advice. Where am I? I don't care. What will I do? I will get to where I dream of being.

Good piece.

Guess he wasn't very wise.
