Surprisingly High-Brow

If we set our minds to it, there's nothing we can't achieve
But our image is lowered when we blow our nose on our sleeve
Kinda destroys our stature
As a knowledge dispatcher
More like someone with a grade two diploma would you believe?

Reason A. Poteet Date: 3/28/2018 7:38:00 AM a surprising piece, Jack. Many other things serve to do the same in reality when they are totally accepted by society. I 'd change the last three words to "would you believe?" Super 5 liner with clarity. Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 3/28/2018 7:45:00 AM You're absolutely right... I changed the ending! Merci! Happy you liked it, my friend! Cheers, Happy Jack!
