9563. STUPID NEEDS

STUPID NEEDS
What can you lend me, tired friend?
How about a dirigible without any air?
Or helium? Whatever goes in there. Or
a fork with no tines, or a songbook that
rhymes? What can you give me right now?
-
So many hundreds of things I always 
wanted to know, and now the damn 
schoolbooks are empty. What is the 
music of the spheres? Where is the Gobi 
Desert, and who goes there? How many 
rhomboids can fit in a circled square?
-
So, see what I mean? Useless information?
Supposed to 'fire my imagination?' I can't
see the forest for the trees. I don't get these
wantings for all these stupid needs.
