Gut

I could have a conversation

with the wisest of them all,

but I'm a master of negation

with the most absurd pitfall,

So I doubt that I would learn

even a single splendid notion

if I gave a sage their turn

and listened with devotion.

I know I'm not the most proficient

or most gifted philosopher,

but I can only ever be efficient

when with my own gut I confer.
