 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

WOEFULLY PRETENDING



I have met many in my entire life time
From fools to brilliance beyond doubt
And in this classroom earth all learn
Not ever really leaving too much out
 
But the saddest story I ever so remember
Was my meeting a guy near Brisbane town
Who never learned anything in his life
He always just pretended he wore the crown
 
The crown to knowing everything you mentioned
He would tell you sincerely of that I know it all
I am an expert on the subject I perfected it
Never let anything on that get away or fall
 
he had been in life put down by his family so
Always told he was nothing but a fool
So he decided in life to simply pretend
That on every subject he had with honors left school
 
I have never felt sorrier for another soul in life
as he spent his entire life woefully pretending
Doing him self and his soul such damage
Almost I thought then beyond ever mending
 
You could not tell this guy anything at all
He knew how it all went it's so true
surprising what a family can render upon a child
And at times what total lack of encouragement can do.
