Lessons From Stupidity

The wise one learns lessons
new or unknown

      from the follies and errors 
      of others,

             but does so a whole lot more 
             from his own;


for he takes all of these 
good-naturedly,

      with wry humor and true
      humility,

           while owning up to some
           stupidity.
