Funny Bliss

Twain is a funny guy.

He was frustrated, at fourteen,

With his father’s ignorance.

At twenty, how dumb truck he felt

That his father could be such a quick learner.

 

I was thirteen and I wrote:

           “What do I know?”

My old French teacher loved it.

           He said the essayist Montaigne used it.

At fifty, I said:

           “I feel I know nothing”.

My thirteen year old niece skewered her eyes and mumbled:

           “I am embarrassed, what a loser!”
