Simply Stupid

Pot calling the kettle black

I've been called fat

by the obese

and dumb by the clown

Mocked what I see

when blind had a frown

Favored the morons

who said I was great

and clapped for the wolfman

who urged me up late

Said I was simple

to those who'd had help

Asked for their mercy

when they'd stop to yelp

Changed for the others

who saw what I did

Knowing them all

and all that they hid

Paid for their crimes

in all I had left

and made more than money

from alms I have theft
