The innumerate are legion

The illiterate are bountiful too

Plato knew better than to posit nothing

Because Parmenides had given him a clue:

You can’t say anything about what is not

Because not a word of it would be true;

“Nothing” doesn’t exist —and “no one” can’t have a clue

That’s why Parmenides is the father of logic

And the illiterati are just shuffling through.
