A Most Intelligent Devil
Some think I have much wisdom
Actually wisdom comes from experience
It doesn't require any special talents
Observation is key ingredient
One only needs an inquiring mind
Just suck up the knowledge you require
Store it away to impress the younger souls
Don't tell them they too will acquire
Make them think you're a special dude
Filled to the brim with the smarts
Began with a great big sponge for a mind
Sucking up stuff from the start
So keep this wee secret betwixt you and me
So others will think I'm real special
Admire my smarts, call me Your Highness
Recognize I'm an intelligent devil
