There are cures for lots of things, but being a fool isn't one of them ~
Like stupidity, it's a chronic condition.

Re: very good mm. there are many versions of this little fable concerning
the wise man and the fool. The fool almost always comes up short.

Your different style is fun. It reminds me of the saying
'WISE MEN CHANGE THEIR MINDS SOMETIMES,FOOLS NEVER' and 'wise men think alike,fools seldom differ'

Quite a departure for you. I really like it. You know what this reminds me of?
One of Ambrose Bierce's Fantastic Fables (which is on my short list of all time favorite books).
If you're unfamiliar, here's a quick example:
An Officer and a Thug
A Chief of Police who had seen an Officer beating a Thug was very indignant, and said he must not do so any more on pain of dismissal.
"Don't be too hard on me," said the Officer, smiling; "I was beating him with a stuffed club."
"Nevertheless," persisted the Chief of Police, "it was a liberty that must have been very disagreeable, though it may not have hurt. Please do not repeat it."
"But," said the Officer, still smiling, "it was a stuffed Thug."
In attempting to express his gratification, the Chief of Police thrust out his right hand with such violence that his skin was ruptured at the arm-pit and a stream of sawdust poured from the wound. He was a stuffed Chief of Police.
