Hans Who Is Everywhere Valentine (for Dave M.)

Hans the stable boy in your story
After he had met the three great minds
And served them the best wine all night
Witnessing their ecstasy and laughter
Was left with the heavy responsibility
Of putting them all to bed
Two of them already deep asleep
The third still mumbling her prayers
Have you ever had to put a drunk
Parent to bed pulled off their coat
And shoes and tucked them in
Then you've seen how wisdom
Is just a foolish child as Hans did
So much for beauty truth and goodness
Hardly capable without him
