Idiot's Guide to Smart People

Clark Steven Lupton

2003



What you need to know about smart people is this:

You're not worthy to flush their piss

In terms of intellect they're way ahead

While some people out there are just plain brain dead



At grade one they're asked, "What's 2+2? Don't be scared…"

"You're the teacher - you should know it's two squared"

"So would you like to finger paint your favorite food?"

"Child's play! I would rather oil paint a nude."



They win at casinos because they know the odds

They're usually rich because they get the best jobs

Take doctors and engineers, they study really hard

And so they have a big house and a big back yard



So they study hard and don't use tricks

Though beauty and brains don't necessarily mix

Smart people don't always look fine

Take a look at Albert Einstein



Some dumb people's mouths stay open like they're gawking

While there are some geniuses off the chart like Stephen

Hawking

He could solve the mysteries of the universe

He is sickly but it could be worse



Some people are born smart while others just study

You wouldn't catch them copying from a buddy

In exams sometimes they ace

And even go to work in outer space



Although having brains is what you need

It helps a lot if you read

In college many started when they were young

A few were even twelve when they begun



Smart people just have all this knowledge

Chances are they did well in college

Most smart people communicate better

And can spell big words down to the letter



When you're smart you should believe

In all those things you can achieve

Whether it's science, law or the arts

You’ll go farther if you have the smarts



Having intelligence is a gift

And it's power, if you get my drift

Smart people rule and that makes lots of sense

So if you inherited smarts you should thank your parents
