Wisdom of the Young

Wisdom of the Young.
160.6

A college graduato was he,
His knowledge was his joy and prides
Not merely theoretical,
But well applied.

In science well he knew the cause
That made an earthquake jog a town
And, furthermore, himself could shake
The Old Man down.

Had he been boss of Panama
He could have quaffed of Fortune’s cupi
Besides, he knew the way to make
His Pa dig up.

In sociology, dread art,
He worked not merely for his healthy
He knew just how to make his dad
Distribute wealth.
