Wisdom

I went with the theme prompt of some thing I’ve learned.  and yes tomorrow is truly my 66th birthday so I guess this song has a timestamp.

 

Lordy Lordy when I turned 40

what the hell had I learned

not a lot if I give it a thought

everything concerned

oh how nifty I turned 50

and what the hell had I learned

dumb as an ox with a head full of rocks

Half a life surely burned

now tomorrow I turn 66

ain’t no Way to get it fixed

Least I know I learned squat

The dumb think they know a lot

when I turned 20 I had it all figured out

now I’ve got nothing but doubt

that’s the way it goes

i’ve learned my ignorance grows

it’s like a curtain that’s drawn aside

with wisdom knowledge fails

knowledge beyond knowing

wisdom it prevails
