Socrates, he liked to tease,  
things did not end well, though.  
Athens, not that hard to please  
but the man -- said Plato,  
kept accusing, criticizing  
so no wonder, ostracizing  
wasn't thought an option.  
Sentenced for corruption,  
he's the man they loved to hate.

Some just cannot stand debate.
