Frost On Your Noodle

If there's frost on your noodle, don't despair It's a sign of genius if you've got grey hair But the experts say when the colour takes flight Intelligence doesn't just happen overnight It takes years and years of bumps and grinds So make sure you don't get left behind To survive in this crazy and wacky old world Ya gotta be ready for whatever gets hurled Grey hair says intelligence between the ears Achieving great wisdom throughout the years A scholarly person you've turned out to be Now if only your kiddies could also see That parents are not just a couple dolts May even be smarter than a lot of young colts Who may know computers and all that stuff That's not all there is, it's not quite enough To be able to deal with the challenges of life One needs the smarts to deal with strife For everyday problems that are bound to arise Facing head on life's every surprise Don't be embarrassed by frost on you noodle You've got the whole kit and caboodle Acquiring great knowledge throughout the years With loads of laughter and many tears ©Jack Ellison 2012
