“CAN You Do It Dr?” (A Poem)

by Martin A Smith 2022

Never Trust A Man With A PHD To Open A Tin Can.

He Will Write A Treatise On The Mining Of Ore,

& It’s Effect On The Food Industry.

Then When He Finishes,

And You Jump For Joy That Your Hunger Ends,

He Will Reach For The Can Opener,

& Start A Book On ‘Worm Epidemics’.

By the Time You Are Served

Those Delightful Baked Beans,

Verily Mr PHD Has Delayed You Such,

That A New Library Has Preceded You,

And You Have Already Bitten the Dust.

If Only You Had Priorly Known To

Never Trust A Man With A PHD To Open A Tin Can
