A Poem by Thayne Whipple

Education

Aug 25, 2015
Education, education,
There's no need for provocation.
Won't you trust me to my studies, sir?
I'm a dreamer, not a scholar.
But I'll wear the student's collar,
As I read the next soliloquy.
For I suppose with facts in hand
I'll on a greater plateau stand.
But do you think it really worth the pain?
For as each novel piece of fact
When with my brain does make impact
I feel cerebrum painfully expand.
And this is what I have to show,
Because I've truly found it so,
The more I learn the less I find I know!
