Ideas of an Ignoramus
It's really great to be ignorant.
If you are, you can learn so
much more
Than the unlucky one5 who are
already wise;
For them there's no learning
in store.
Now when I finished high school
And pot my first long pants,
Jly friends said go to Tarleton,
Even you might have a chance.
For the folks down there are
are regular,
And they won't give the high
snoot
To a boy who's from the country
And ignorant to boot.
So if you'll just go down there
And try the grade to make
You'll be exposed to learning
And maybe it will take.
So T came to look and wonder
At this, your knowledge mill,
And I tell you it looks scrump-
tious
To a boy fresh from the hills.
The vivid wall, the bugle call
To me are strong and new.
But soon I hope to know them
As well as all of you.
So ignorance is a blessing;
Don't you think this statement
true?
For an ignoramus has much
To learn, to know, to do.
Louie Johnston.

Why are these wrinkles in my
brow?
Why are my temples gray?
Well it is a long sad story,
And it happened in this way:
I took my turn in the endless line
Where minutes seemed like ages.
I wrote my name enough, I am
sure,
To cover three full pages.
First they gave me an armful
of papers,
And then half as many more.
1 crammed them in my pockets,
And lost some on the floor.
Then I filled the blanks
With the wall for a desk,
And an elbow in my eye.
I tried my best to get it all
straight.
But there was no use to try.
Now I'm sometimes in a daze for
days
And even weeks at times.
And even at night while fast
asleep
I dream of dotted lines.
And now, my friends. I hope
This clears the situation.
This sad. sad change in my happy
life
Was caused by registration.
