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.

I had the naive notion that when I finished school that the learning process stoped. There was no further need for more knowledge. We continue to learn and teach throughout our lives. Often we change careers. Brightly done.
Thanks. I agree. I know people who believe they have nothing more to learn. And, are defensive if you make a suggestion. Too bad for them. Learning something new everyday is the best approach. Great to hear from you again!
