Uncommon Sense
I wish I were an educated woman
But sadly, I am not.
I have to rely on common sense
As much as I have got
You don't have to write a thesis
Or a Shakespeare play
You have to think carefully
And be straightforward with what you say.
Some educated scholars,
Are a credit to their craft
Unfortunately, others lack common sense,
They're daft.
It is essential to have both these two,
But I am only an uneducated woman
With a common sense point of view.
