Big Head

I said to the little man
with the rather large head,
"What bothers you today?
Why filled with such dismay?"
He replied and cried,
"My head is full of things
that I cannot get out
and speak about!
The need is great,
I dare not hesitate!"
I replied, "Why the alarm,
I am sure it will do harm."
He retorted, "But these things
are important and I cannot
set them free
to all of thee!"
I consoled and extolled,
"Try not to push to hard
from above but from below.
I am sure from there
your thoughts will surely flow."
He looked perplexed and vexed,
"But if I think that way,
will it not stink
and turn them away?"
I responded for I am kind-hearted,
"Bring a bed pan to carry your treasure.
Carry it with you and people will measure,
the value of thoughts from a large head produced and reduced!"
He snorted and chortled,
"I see and I agree.
Now they will all see
what's inside of me!"

That my friends is the story of
Mr. Shithead, the little man
with the large head.
