Half-Wit


The bully sneered and called him a half-wit
Derided, he shrunk from that bullies laugh
Labeled a half-wit, debased and unfit
He vowed to search for his other wit-half

But where does one look for a half-wit that's left
He was feeling half-witted chagrin
The loss of that wit-half left him bereft
He didn't know where to begin

He wised-up when truth was revealed
He would never again feel sullied
The lost half-wit he found concealed
In the half brain of that half-witted bully

Nice one, Stan, though I would have written the last two lines as:

The lost half-wit he found concealed:
The whole of the brain of that bully.

A bully has not have the wit of those they bully push around , made the victims cry ,but as time passed , it were the bully who wept ,as he was left , to curse the day he bulled , for the victim , proved to be the better , in what was achieved in life.
