Subject(s): Thought; Thinking
I want to think a brilliant thought;
I think I might, no doubt,
If I could think, as thinkers ought,
Just what to think about.
A little thought, if I could think,
To bigger thoughts would lead,
And thought to thought I then would link
Till thinking should succeed.
My only problem is to find
That thought with which to start.
Once give me that, I'm sure my mind
Would learn the thinker's art.
