Mental Masturbation

“Mental Masturbation”; or, Members of Mensa and Internet High-IQ Societies Shamefully Wasting Their High-IQ

“Obtuse Mensans! Get thee out from Mensa!”

What advantage is taking IQ tests,

when fellows of the intelligentsia

laugh at thy developmental arrest?

'Tis best from online IQ tests to graduate,

and lay aside thy intellectual games

and puzzles, than to “mentally masturbate”

and never rise to lofty genius's aims.

If Shakespeare, Newton, Milton, Beethoven,

or Einstein had been content to misspend

their gifts away, then the world of mere men

would long have come to its undazzling end.

Therefore, O ye vainglorious small brains,

make up thy minds; and brook no more the drains!
