Maybe I was suppose to be smarter
It certainly possible to me
I can see where I could have been better
With more education, you see?
In the old days, it was called “book learnin’”
Which meant reading a lot and such
I thought I had gone through a lot of books
But, now it don’t seem like so much
I guess my verbs get in the way of some nouns
I find some math such a puzzle
I have a confession about spelling
I am completely bum-fuzzled!
Oh yeah, my grammar gets a little lapse
When I try the prepositions
You have probably already figured out
Teaching was not my ambition
While I know I’m not quite as smart as some
I think I’m stuck with what I’ve got
No sense trying to act any smarter
‘Cause a politician I am not!
