A nothing from nowhere cast his words to a world wide wind, and got in your eye.

What Words These?

Folly, signifying
Reckless fool.
Gold in these words?
A foolish act or idea.

Whether whimsical,
Extravagant structure
Or theatrical revue,
The French "folie,"
Is "madness, stupidity".

Evoke in poem
As imprudent, rash,
Lacking good judgment?
Poor fool.

Often eccentric,
whimsical nature
Is my folly.
A fool and his words…

Folly to covet
This bit of Gold.
