I am gregarious
The great joy of my life
Has ever been personal interaction
I despise debate and treasure chat
I don’t really like competition
Unless I’m sure to win
As for example in a game of Trivial Pursuit
So long as it was published before 1995
There is in me a prominent streak
Of the geeked-out frosh
The impresario of the late-night bull session
Which is as Hephaestus said
Well-lubricated to be sure
And I delight in the Socratic method
Especially when it is I who have passed the audition
To play the role of inquisitive Socrates
