I Am An Ignorant Poet

I am an ignorant poet.
not studied up on my lit-
erature. not knowledge-
able of the goings on.

1-3-5 is no silver spoon
doesn't promise me nothing,
but leaves me thinking;
I am an ignorant poet.

You say I can't bet my
life on music but then
what do I do with my chips?
We've all got to bet on

something, so it might
as well sound good. But
then again, as I said; I am
an ignorant poet.

I know myself and every
one else, but they just won't
take the time. If I am wrong
then show me right if you think

I'm an ignorant poet.
when you're standing up to a
challenge and forced
off balance, only challenge

will rise again. As far
as I'm concerned I'm right
you're wrong is made vice
versa. But I'll live my

poet life and play sweet music
through the bends
An ignorant poet is always
right until proven wrong again.
