The University of Life - School of Hard Knocks
64The University of Life
There’s more to life than just lessons
in school and boring formal learning!
Once scholastic education is over,
time to start proper life and earning!
University of Life’s doors swung open
now begin in earnest your life training!
Learning to read and write - All’s great
But there’s more to life - young mate!
You will learn by the hard knocks of life
that she’s of ups and downs and strife!
Learning that experience is best teacher
She will teach you well by trial and error.
You’ll learn good judgment comes from
experience; latter from bad judgement!
Learning that failure’s your travel partner
guiding you towards being a life’s winner!
The University of Life - Truly rich education!
Learning exploration only ends at expiration!

The road is full of holes and rocks.
I've been to the School of Hard Knocks.
I got a masters degree,
From a man I called Simon Legree.
This tyrant could slow time and kill clocks.
I took Greed 101 at the School of Hard Knocks.
So I apprenticed and became a stooge,
For another miser named Ebeneezer Scrooge.
For Christmas he gave the Cratchets rocks.
And I got another degree from the School of Hard Knocks.
No more slaving for tyrants, on my road of rocks.
This way, that way, the tyrant blocks.
The tyrant is adept at delivering shocks.
The textile workers are sewing clothes and socks.
Cooks and bakers are soiling their smocks.
Accountants scrimp and study shares and stocks.
Shepherds watch over their flocks.
Workers work hard and long at the docks.
Children are tugging at Mothers' frocks.
All of humanity are watching their clocks.
Their heads are all on chopping blocks.
All God's people await, hoping God unlocks,
The elevation of humanity at the School of Hard Knocks.
So true...
richtwf and mickydee, enjoyed the kindred spirit of this undeniably truth about the education of life! We're all in it together! God Bless
The University of Life is priceless. If we listen we learn. If we look we learn. Life is a great teacher. Another great one. Thanks for keeping us all inspired.
Wow this is great Richie and Micky
We all learn a lot when we go to school
Reading, writing,Books are so cool
When we enter the adult phase of life
We discover we encounter a little bit of strife
So enjoy the day's of learning
Cos' someday you're bound to feel some sad yearning
So life is good when we think about it all
Don't forget to get right back up,if sometime you fall
Sameerk:
Glad you enjoyed this my friend and God bless!
Micky:
