A MEASURE OF WISDOM

A MEASURE OF WISDOM   From the twelfth to the fourteenth tome Kings chronicled their might and powers Where a great ruler made a solemn request For knowledge and wisdom above all else To regulate fairly over all his subjects   In league with Hiram’s adroit work men Bequeathed a temple legacy to the craft With treasures buried under the stones Men went in search of the secret grail That remains elusive to the mundane   With a sword sharpened to divide The infantile life and the departed one A mother’s compassion led him aright Common sense made famous by votes That marks him the wisest bloke of all   This profound measure in judgement A tip of the iceberg for the sea farers If one wife is a handful of daring feat Compare three and seven hundred wives And see the wisdom in human management
