For no reason that I can think of, this poem I learned some time ago, just came to me. I think it wants to be included in this thread. So here goes:

OUTWITTED
He drew a circle that shut me out--
Heretic, a rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

Edwin Markham
