There is nothing that I don’t know!
Except for the things that I forgot,
So many many years ago!

So many people get lost in thought,
The unfamiliar territory of the mind!
Opening the shades to let some light in,
But finding out they are still blind!

The wisdom of the ages
Has been bestowed yes sir to me!
Listen closely as I share it with you,
Crap! What were we talking about?

Dear Robert:

Mind Your Tongue, Wisecracker!

Mind your tongue, wisecracker,
Whilst wisdom you dispense,
In manners be no slacker,
Use sensibility and sense.

'Tis true the heathen plague you,
Railing against the right,
But guard your temper closely,
A gentleman never fights.

Mind your tongue, wisecracker,
Be a bard of pleasant mien,
For rough retorts spawn wicked sports,
And tragedies unclean.

Have a Dovely.

Sincerely yours,
CALEB BOONE.
