Pseudomorph

I get a kick outta the writes I see, So intellectual, how can that be? I skipped two grades, Was forced to take IQ tests again, Cause no one as dumb as me, Could possibly produce such a score, you see Got 100% on regents exams, Passed college entrance tests Half drunk and dirty of dress Cause I was up with friends drinkin' and carousing like the rest, And, Lord knows how, but I assure, I aced the test, and even more, To what was then considered "The Poor-Man's Harvard" I cruised through that as well, No one was gona stop this Bell But IQ tests, and scholastic grade, Never has one, of a man be made I still do get confused, About how to wear two shoes, My brain may be book-smart, But comin' from the heart, I've trusted when I really shouldn't Was skeptical when imprudent So here's this IQ wiz, Don't know just who he is, And street smart as a cat, Caught in Dr. Zeuss's hat. So teach your children well, don't grow up to be like Tom Bell
