Common Sense

by Percy Albertross - Taurus

Common sense

I love my wife; it’s plain to see.
She means more than the world to me.
I’d travel till the end of time
Just to know she’s always mine.
But although I love and need her so
There are some things you ought to know
She can be a pain in the bum.
Allegedly just like her mum.

They’re both the same it must be said
No common sense inside their head.
Very clever, very smart.
Top the class in books and art.
Present them with a tune to play,
They’ll read the notes and play away,
But give them a space with a car to find.
“We’ve found six red ones, which is mine?” 

The crossword in the news is done,
In the time it takes to fire a gun
But let them work their hands with flair
And the knowledge known is just not there.
I don’t know why, they’re both the same,
With no common sense inside their brain.
Maybe they’ve used up all their knowledge
By reading, writing and study at college.
