Moronic Moron

 

 

A Moronic Moron

Married a simpleton

And Simpleton by name and nature

Became his lifelong problem.

 

Moron tried his best

To get her to divorce

Citing he was too good for her

But she was his curse.

 

He argued he was bright

But Simpleton was dumb

And so, he yearned for the day

The divorce would come.

 

Many a year hence

These too are still together

And perfecting their unique skillset

Of being a bore and bother.

 

Every day a quarrel

As though their daily meal,

The same thing often repeated

As in a TicTok reel.

 

But what was the attraction

That obtains up to today?

They think alike yet differently

In their peculiar way.

 

 

 

Moron had played it safe

From the very beginning,

And believing he was the brighter,

He’d always be winning.

 

No intimidation at all

When he first saw Simpleton,

He had surely met someone dumber

With whom to form a union.

 

Besides, who sensibly,

Would give him a second look?

Simpleton did and unexpectantly so:

And she’s the one he took.

 

You’d call him moron

And I would have to agree

But a moron without any equal;

Moronic is what he be.

 

Call it redundance

Or even over-emphasizing

But Moron is a moronic moron

And very enterprising.

 

Every moron, I do believe,

Has his own special sense

But because we do not understand

We often take offense.

 

 

But Moron is not fazed

By what anybody feels,

He is insulated within and without

With impervious steel.

 

Criticism does not matter,

He hears nary a word

Whereupon Simpleton attests to this,

And readily concurs.

 

He is still her darling,

She liked him from day #1,

He was the only one to look at her

And instantly she was gone.

 

He may want a divorce

As is his oft-made request

But there is no one like her Moron;

He’s the absolute best.

 

Let me remind you, though,

Every book has its cover

And there is a match for everyone

Which Moron did discover.

 

Moronic he may be

But has had a lasting marriage

And that is more than most can do

Or even attempt to manage.
