Learning<br />

Thoroughly learn one’s learning<br />

Then live it<br />

Deem letters & numbers<br />

Humanity’s vital eyes<br />

Learned men possess eyes,<br />

Lorelessness only sores<br />

Erudites dutifully delight company<br />

Leaving visitors craving<br />

Deem ignorance the peasant<br />

Erudition the millionaire<br />

As wells spring water<br />

Wisdom brings wits<br />

Happily wandering the world<br />

Increases personal sapience<br />

Through our noble legacies<br />

Learning lives forever<br />

As learning spreads learning<br />

Yearn its increase<br />

Nuggets of studied wisdom<br />

Life’s true jewels<br />

Lorelessness<br />

Half‐mindedly engaging learned assemblies<br />

Chess without pieces<br />

Flat‐chested ladies crave bosoms<br />

Fools, public speaking<br />

Klutzes silent among scholars<br />

Gain wisdom’s acclaim<br />

Uneducated insight occasionally excellent<br />

But seldom respected<br />

Speaking before educated companies<br />

Stupidity shrivels inwardly<br />

Ignorant lorelessness simply exists<br />

Like worthless wilderness<br />

Deem beauty lacking knowledge<br />

Mere painted mannequin<br />

When fools gain riches<br />

Sorrow soon follows<br />

Educated fellows easily outrank<br />

Caste, class, clan<br />

Deem professorship human being<br />

But buffoonery, beast
