Do You Know

When I was only six years old
in kindergarten I knew so little
I was so ignorant as to be so bold
As to think I knew every riddle!

We live in a very thin time line
Of individual experience that is
Very limited within our lifetime
Of each earth bound Mr. and Ms.

As we grow up, we come to know
How little we don't know, too.
We don't know more than we know we know,
And we don't know for sure if that's true.

The worst you can do is think things just you
But nobody else ever does.
If you do I tell you your friends will be few,
When you know things that never was!

If space and time and all this rhyme
Have you somewhat confused,
Just relax your backs and lay back sublime.
It's best to just be amused.

You don't know more than you really know
However much you think you do.
So just carry on, put on a good show,
But inside you know this ain't you!
