You Know I Know

You know I don't know
What you want to know?

I don't know what you know,
So tell me what you know
And I'll know if I know
What you know or not know;
If I know what you know,
And you know not that I know,
Then I'll tell you that I know
What you know and didn't know
that all along I did know;
Then we'll both know
that we both know
What you did know
But thought I didn't know.
I'll know what you know
And you'll know that I know.
You don't have to wonder I know
What you thought only you did know;
I do know what you know
Because you told me what you know.
So now you know I know!

The reality is that we both know how little we know and what we do know we know very well,but we know in the end we wll never know all we need to know. We will never be accused of being a know it all. We do however know enough to get by. I do know that you wrote a great poem. Have a great night my friend.
