Of A Good Education

Of a good education he has papers to show

But of Nature's ways so much he does have to know 

On some ways he is quite bright and on other ways slow

To him a currawong is a species of crow

Yet he would have you believe that he knows everything

And his own praises he certainly loves to sing

He will tell you of his uni degrees

And that his sort of knowledge does not grow on trees

That he has so much to learn he does not realize

Well educated in one subject but not very wise

Those who believe they know everything have nothing to learn of at all

Are words of old wisdom worthy of recall

Well educated in one subject but in many ways slow

To him a currawong is a species of crow.
