Stupid Poem
If ignorance is no excuse
under the law.
Can you imagine what stupid is?
Stupid are the people who
Win the lottery and have
A good time spending money
and some give it away,
Not saving a dime for a rainy day.
Then to their regret,
they even end up in debt.
Now as a man I,
have had a few
senior moments,
but we're not talking about me.
If stupid is, what stupid dose.
Then stupid is something
you’re going to see.
The apple doesn’t fall far
from the family tree.
It doesn't matter
if its in your genes
or in your DNA
there is no medical cure for stupidity.
At least not today.
There’s no pill you can take,
no lotion you can rub on.
A fool and his money
are soon parted.
(True Story)
Again you can see
we're not talking about me.
Thanks to Uncle Sam
Idiot number one gets paid
6,000 plus a month buys a car,
paid for it in cash.
Two months later its repossessed,
because he was dumb enough
to get a title loan,
and (not) make the payments.
Lost his checkbook twice,
made ATM withdrawals.
Bank says he’s 8,000 dollars in the hole,
and he wonders why.
It’s been said that,
it’s better to be silent
and let people think you’re stupid,
than to open your mouth and
Remove all doubt.
Stupidity has a voice,
When we take the foot
out of our mouth we can hear it.
For some people stupidity
is a symptomatic rule.
On the coldest night of the year
homeless people in a homeless shelter
are given blankets and told
That they can’t use them there.
