Careful Johnny Knowledge
With your opinions solid
Intellectual nonsense
about which you play so sure.

Your tone it is so careful
As you craft your clever verbage
Talking down the common worker
Like your post's somehow more pure.

Quote your famous artists
List your playwrites all aplenty
Command all founded opinions
The highest of which is yours.

But don't overlook beauty
In the movement of a hand,
Recognize all the hard work
for you, in tilling of the land.

And I hope that someday you will find that light inside your soul
That will be worth more t'you than any word you'll ever know.

But I can tell so far you've not found that happiness in full
By how diligent you seem to try to impress that girl.
