    Ignorant Virtue
    Ignorant virtue, is its own reward,
    To have completely clueless friends,
    We must first, be clueless ourselves!
    We must be clueless, we are clueless!
    We must be clueless what clueless is!
    Running around, a huge clown town!
    Bumbling around in epic clown shoes!
    Wading through any bullshit hip deep!
    Dodging the bad crap rolling downhill!
    Not sure whenever we hit rock bottom!
    Not sure if there really is a rock bottom!
    Not sure, which direction is up anymore!
    Not sure, there really ever was a way up!
    Everyone stumbles, upon the path of life!
    Everyone falls hard once in a great while!
    But few of us master landing on their butt!
    Few of us master, learning how to recover!
    Few master, knowing when to just bumble!
    Few master learning how to fall unharmed,
    Like children who can fall a bazillion times;
    Bouncing off the floors as if made of rubber!
    Jumping right back up upon their feet again!
    Without actually becoming that tired or sore!
    Without even becoming very grumpy or upset!
    Without actually, ever losing their momentum!
    Seldom ever losing their tempers for very long!
    Like energizer bunnies they just keep on going!
    Because they never actually land, terribly hard!
    Never hurt themselves bad, like some big babies!
    Never foolish enough to throw temper tantrums!
    Never foolish enough to waste good times crying.
    Being honest about themselves and all the world!
    They always take, much better care of themselves!
    They contend with none, none contend with them,
    Doing their own thing they can easily find friends;
    Usually preferring to just mind their own business!
    They are among the first, to profess their ignorance!
    They're amongst the first, to desire to make amends!
    Or so utterly transparent it boggles the imagination!
    So baffled they can't distinguish reality from fiction;
    Such terrible liars they couldn't sell water in a desert!
    They merely seem to just want to help or to be happy;
    Doing everything they can to make it happen captain!
    Sometimes children can become altogether too eager!
    Which only adds to their formidable enduring charms,
    Wrapping almost everyone around their little fingers.
    They can charm the pants, off the meanest of snakes;
    But there is seldom any real doubt of their sincerity,
    So charming, they are often the center of attention.
    So compellingly authentic they move all the world,
    So trusting they'll believe, almost everything said,
    Knowing wonder is the beginning of all wisdom.
    Sensually reveling shitting in their own diapers;
    Blurting zingers about everything and nothing,
    Aware hard work is the surest path to success,
    Puzzled, over what is work and what is play,
    Puzzled, how to do so many different things!
    Diligence and perseverance forever priceless.
    Eternally optimistic, about almost anything,
    Positive that happiness, just comes for free;
    Really, just wanting everyone to be happy.
    Desiring the fewest things for themselves;
    Their great treasure can be a piece of lint.
    But knowing very little about the world,
    Knowing almost nothing about nothing,
    Yet knowing so much about themselves,
    They're never confused by their feelings.
    Remaining in touch with their feelings,
    They seem to know what is important;
    Remembering what matters, the most!
    They remain, among the most blessed!
    Sleeping with peaceful contentment,
    Even in many of the noisiest places!
    Bumbling aimlessly along the way!
    The world is their playground yet,
    Few things actually bother them!
    Few things are a threat to them,
    Everyone watches out for them,
    The smallest, angels and saints,
    Small cherubs, surrounding us,
    The most virtuous, of anyone,
    Hiding poop in their diapers!
    The dumbest, in some ways,
    Just like sweet baby James.

    This poem was easier to write than many of them, but all the more fun!
