'Intellectuals' Poem by Linda Winchell

'Intellectuals'

Rating: 5.0


I was over hearing some intellectuals
well I guess they thought they were?
But couldn't understand a word they uttered
I don't think they were even sure!

I didn't mean to eaves drop
but it sounded kind of, interesting to me.
I was trying to see if I could make anything out, they were saying
or if it could possibly apply somehow to me.

Educated fools, that what I think they were
just talking loudly in a coffee shop
so everyone could hear.

I would rather be a dumb, dumb,
then sit and have a conversation like them
So I guess I'm the lucky one?
that couldn't intellectually understand.
