A FOOL鈥橲 MESSAGEtc "A FOOL鈥� S MESSAGE"
K. V. Ramana Rao
(鈥淎bandon all learning, you will be free from trouble and distress鈥� 鈥� Laotse)

Falstaffs and Bottoms are ever far far happier
With their 鈥淧lentiful lack of wit鈥�, so by Nature furnished.

Exiled, here you have discovered quasars and blackholes!
Your knowledge triumphed, brought weightier burdens,
Blasted your peace, dug deeper graves for your souls.
