Smart Or Dumb I've Evolved

Today I am but a parcel of who I used to be
Changes in my life that even I can see
Hopefully for the better and not for the worse
I've evolved from the time when you knew me first
Time changes all and often for the better
We expand and evolve and it goes on forever
Hopefully we gain more knowledge as we're better educated
And not as easily unwillingly pesuaded
To re-inact former blunders, so we have advanced
We drink up experience which helps to enhance
The being that we now have matured into
A simular yet different me or you
My father told me many years ago
Something I think everyone should know
The only difference between someone who's smart or dumb
Is the dumb doesn't learn after smashing his thumb
The smart simple doesn't place his in the way again
But, the dumb forgets and swings while his is in
The way of the hammer one more time
He didn't learn from my fathers little rhyme
Very few people get everything right on the first try
But, what was done wrong they ask why
Aware of the error they now see the light
And the next time they do it, they'll get it just right
