Things I Dare to Say

The aphorisms i make

may be subject to mistake.

A friend calls them daresaying,

word games which we are playing.

I am willing to confess

they are often meaningless.

It is not just arrogance

and often shows ignorance.

The smart aleck, which i am,

may include a lot of ham.

If i imply they are truth

it’s because i am aloof.

I am above the mundane.

Does this mean i am insane?
