Dumbass Genius Farm Boys Paradigm

Listen to poem:
Dumbass Genius Farm Boys Paradigm David J Walker “Genius” may have been the most ironic of all The four-letter adverb monikers daily applied To describe the general dissatisfaction With any and all work performed on the farm “Way to go Genius” was the norm as The tearing down process was performed Can you be a Genius and a Dumbass at the same time as you chime in too late to make any sense of the Dumbass-Genius farm boy paradigm “What do you think Genius” was the question To the obvious answer that goes without saying To any coherent thing in the Kings English spoken With a deep Texas drawl “I know y’all aint that GD Dumb…dumbass” “Y’all aint from round here, are ya Genius” I couldn’t believe it either, but I was and I could drop the F-Bomb with the best of ‘em Forming a drawled word you’d never heard in the Middle of a sentence never spoken in Sunday school “Hey Genius, get yer ass over here” I’d heard that demand so many times that I’d planned to send my ass and leave the Rest of me behind But that will be next time Dumbass Genius
