He Was Nobodys Fool
by Paul Francis Mc Cann → (All Poetry by Paul Francis Mc Cann)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

After spending time at school, all his teachers thought he knew ,
the things that they talked about and the things they tried to do .

But he learned to use his head and he saw what he could do ,for one day what they tried to say , he knew it wasn't true .

Listen , they said to him you've got to learn your ABC ,

You must count on the meanings that are in the dictionary .

Just learn to multiply and also divide and you'll see ,.

For in the end my friend , you'll be nobody's fool like me .

But It took more than adding up, to fix a broken fence .

He learned to put some hard work in and use his commonsense .

So the teachers said one day ,we can't teach you anymore .

Thats when he took his school bag and he walked right out the door .

He took a chance on farming , bought a tractor and a truck ,

it wasn't that long umtil the young man made his own luck .

He planted in some seeds and ploughed up in another field ,

In a year or two he saw what the good earth it can yield .

So what good's a degree or qualifications for him , as he became a millionaire on the back of a whim .

He remembers what the teachers said ,
when he went to school .
But understood his own way ,
for he was nobodys fool .

He counted on his talent and he made a mighty sum ,he knew exactly what to do
and smart he had become .

Hello Paul,

I'm amazed at your great talent to write "story poems" -it takes me to another dimension. Truly a degree does not guarantee success in life,
persistence does. Your poem is excellent.

Well said, wisdom comes in many forms, not just book learing....

Be always safe,
