cleverly shunned
this clever lad
who once was
quite celebrated
applauded, even;
that once and
clever tyke --

little did he know
one forward day
when he'd've all
up and grown

dependable lads
are what's wanted
clever 'uns were
interesting enough
for a bit of a larf but
just a tad annoying;

when things gotta
be done - go figure
dependability and
cleverness could
be so incompatible
in people's heads;

so be rather dull
but trustworthy
than yip yap like a pup
that's cleverly shunned
