No Class (Unteachable)
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
A place to park your boat and theirs
A paradox is not a curse
It may not look this way to you
But does that mean; it is not true?
If God had not been in the cloud
He would not move among the crowd
So, if your teacher is an ass
Would you not walk out on his class?
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him!
