The B4 Zone

Discourse

Dr Seem and Dr Sense

Went to a cafe.

Seem believed in abstinence,

Sense, he ordered tea.

Talk and gossip was their scheme,

Food their recompense,

Specious meringue ordered Seem

Scottish egg did Sense.

Each sought the other to regale,

Their talk was glib and smooth,

Each tried to tell the taller tale

And each one stretched the truth.

Seem talked nonsense to friend Sense -

Sense, it seemed to Seem,

Answered only with pretense,

Bits taken from a dream.

The evening hour arrived anon,

Neither of them spoke.

Seem faded when the lights came on,

Sense went up in smoke.
