Be stupid, helpless and bland <br />it will, most unfailingly <br />let only God understand. <br /> <br />Help not, love not, have no smiles <br />He will keep you company <br />for thousands of miles. <br /> <br />Look sad, smell bad, even stutter <br />walk arm in arm with misery <br />Dead man is best left in the gutter.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cranka/
