when the old man said
i know everything
the young girl replied
what is everything
when the old man said
wisdom is mine
the young girl replied
what is wisdom
when the old man said
i am privy to all life’s secrets
the young girl replied
what is privy
when the old man said
you don’t know anything
the young girl replied
what has a bald head
a tight mouth
and dribbles when it eats
when the old man said
respect your elders
the young girl replied
i will when i’m older
