Our brains need convolutions
Just to squeeze our minds inside
Otherwise our heads would be
Too tall and much too wide
Think of all the desk top files
That hide behind our brow
Shakespeare, Einstein, Nixon
Kerouac and Chairman Mao
Science, Santa, etiquette;
So many rules of thumb
The more the convolutions then
The farther from the dumb
In my travels I have met
Some folks that I declare
Must have the smoothest brains of all
That hide behind their hair
