Cycle of Life

Youth is a time
In the knowledge biz
Where you don’t need to learn
Cuz you know all there is

Then later, it’s true
Some wisdom you’ll get
And realize you must learn
Perhaps, just a bit

As the middle years come
You’ll be wishing instead
You could somehow squeeze more
In your thick little head

And then finally arrives
Your golden years
When what you learned earlier
Just disappears
