Of Wisdom and Pride

Wisdom said to Pride,
Let’s go on a date,
With coffee and cake,
And we’ll talk till it’s late.

No, not today,
Pride said to her friend,
My favorite show’s on tonight,
And it’s quite near the end.

The next day wisdom came over,
To take Pride to the fair,
But Pride was too busy,
Washing her beautiful hair.

And so it went on,
Day after day,
Wisdom would ask Pride out,
And Pride said, “No, not today.”

Until finally Pride found,
She was left all alone,
Without Wisdom’s good company,
Her fate was self-sown.
