Learning - a Good Investment

A lazy student known as Burt, 
To parents and teachers was curt.
        With little knowledge,
        Flunked out of college;
Played stock market and lost his shirt!

I agree! ;) Too often, I see this in the world today. At the very least, he should not have been curt to his parents and teachers, who were trying to help him! Thanks for dropping by and commenting, Line. All good things to you! :) Bartholomew
