I don’t want to be clever,
I would have to keep in books
or teach mathematics in college,
I don’t want to be clever,
I would have to listen scholars
or make theory about poetry,
to select high IQ rather than flowers,
rather than talk with friends
about fancy restaurants or NHL,
I don’t want to be clever,
I would have to resolve equations
until midnight without you,
I just like the way I am,
fooling around in my little mind
without boring or despising people,
I don’t want to be clever than me,
Hey I know what you think, I’m not stupid either,
I prefer to have faithful friends.

Good one, Yann.  I like the sentiment in this.  I fear, however, that it is quite clever. )

Though solving equations even past midnight could be highly enthralling, I guess the love factor is indeed priority.

Enjoyed your cute reflections here, dear Yann! You don't want to be clever, but you are and I think it's one of the most charming qualities in a man. Not even love works without cleverness, trust me.

Love,
Margherita
