I wish I had more savvy,
More practical knowledge.
I’m smart, I’m hands on.
No money to finish college.
Just much more insight,
So much more acuity.
I could totally rule my world,
Cracker Jack quality of canny.
I have an excellent brain.
Do my very best to learn.
I’m willing to look things up.
Wheels within my head do turn.
Somewhat sophisticated I am,
Would prefer more cerebral.
I know, not Einstein, of course.
Just assurance that I’m not feeble.
The brain’s an organ of soft tissue,
With so many file cabinets.
Storing so much stuff,
Both good and bad habits.
Guess it’s time, sharpen the blade.
Not always grinding at tasks.
Back to school, get good grades.
One in fiction, one in facts.
This request I make to me.
Improvement, reconstitute.
It’s the only way, I see.
Being in state of more astute.
