Can one be........

Can one be........

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Can one be...
Can one be smart but not clever?
Can one be clever but not smart?
Can one be stupid but not silly?
Can one be silly but not stupid?
Can one have common sense but lack intelligence?
Can one have intelligence but have no common sense?
 I've seen all these types walking, talking!
Anyway, doesn't affect me!
I'm not a complete idiot
some of my parts are missing!

Happy holidays, Andrew :)
Funny. I like your sense of humor.
Can one have parts missing and not be a complete idiot; or be complete idiot with all their parts intact?
Indeed!
Great poem.

Well, as somewhat of an expert in the modern phrase of genius/moron, let me confirm that yes, to all of the above questions. Why else would I go shopping and buy eight different cereals and forget the milk. Or why I can do mathematical equations in the bath, but forget to pull the plug out.
Or indeed, why I can quite happily scramble up a meal for six at no notice, but still prefer beans on toast.
Its a very fine line between genius and madness, I recall thinking, as I fell through that line.
I dont need to say which side of it im on now :)
