Greatest Fool By Charles F Blanchard

Charles F Blanchard 1952 (Springfield, MA)



A man once said,
A man and his money,
will soon be departed
A bigger fool is a man in love
Since for him,
reality has departed.
He'll spend his last dime,
won't care about time.
Only thinking
of when it all started.
When emotions are true
you can easily be blue,
in every sense
for you
I'm the world's
Greatest Fool.
