A Cup of Tea With Farmer Fred
Met Farmer Fred one afternoon for tea;
This was the question he posed to me.
“For success in the game of life,
Is it better to be smart enough to win,
Or too dumb to quit?”
Now I thought on this just a bit;
Lifted my cup and took a big sip.
Then Fred gives me his famous Fred wink
And says, “Here is what I really think.”
“Life will always include rough kicks.”
“Thus, the genius to winning in life,
Is to be the one who didn’t quit.”
