What doesn't Fido know?

orchidee

Now look here

What doesn't Fido know?

Seeing as he knows 99% of everything

There is to know

 

Questions - replies - comments to him

On a postcard, please!

He wants to know, erm, what is the 1%

That he does not know

And then he'll know that too

He'll work out difficult sums

Such as 99% + 1% = 100%

 

He'll say, Hooray!

Now I know everything!

LOL

 

PS. Maybe he won't say Hooray

As that was Adam and Eve's downfall - 

Wanting to know everything

Eating from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil.

He just wants to know

Erm, what doesn't he know!

    A fun read with a hidden message Orchi. Asking somewhat they don't know you'll get the answer ( I don't know) like you said how can you know what you don't know? And that forbidden tree I'd skip right by and gone to the tree of eternal life, that would have given me plenty of time to learn everything or at least find a way to swipe an apple of knowledge.

      Thank you SB. It's a serious theme - but boohoo, Eve mucked it up, and she blamed the serpent/devil in disguise, who suggested the fruit in the first place. We're not told if it was an apple. Maybe it was a pork pie? lol.

        Yes, and if you eat of a tree, beware of anything brown and green which could kill you if it fell on you - nope, not a tree branch (though could be that too) but a snooker table! lol. It's nutty.

          Most welcome Orchi the odds of it being a snooker table in the Americas is rather small more likely a pool table.

                  Thank you A. We might become millionaires if we know what Fido doesn't know! lol. Hidden secrets.

                      Thank you Gold. Fido knows 99% of everything, I reckon. Not that he brags about it himself. lol.
