Knowledge Vs Common Sense
When she grew up and went to school
She was very smart…but a fool…
She wanted to learn everything
She studied all that books could bring.
But it was made clear so very soon…
Her common sense was out of tune.
Her book knowledge while oh so good
Think on her feet? Oh, if she could!
To learn from the past as we grow,
Not reciting facts just for show.
Book knowledge will build a good base
But logical thinking has its place!
On events from books you cannot rest,
Paired with common sense is always best!
