If I could be just half as smart as I think I am I would be at least twice as smart As they all thought that I would someday be If I could be just half as smart as I think I am I'd worry less about myself and turn To lift all others to my efficiency If I could be just half as smart as I think I am I'd notice more the faults in others For the many less I'd see in me If I could be just half as smart as I think I am I'd truly struggle to correct the ones Who've never been so smart as me Alas, you say, how can it be That pride would raise its ugly head Did you listen slower than I wrote? Did you hear not what I said? If I could be just half as smart as I really think I am I'd have to learn to critique, and patronize and even condescend |

Now that's smart, clever and very telling. Never stop learning. Good job. The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked. |
