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?

There was a Canadian called Jack, who loved to yakety yak. Loved playing his banjo, enticing girls like Romeo, found his Linda and never looked back.

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.
