Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I know I'm a fan, but this didn't come into my PM box. I'm glad I found it. I enjoyed reading. There isn't a soul on Earth who can't learn something.

So true, Barbara! Thank you so much.
Comment from Wendy G
Thought I had reviewed this one - I mustn't have saved it. I like your third line - because it is open to interpretation. Is the writer being cynical, questioning, sarcastic, humorous ...? Hence thought-provoking despite being very short. Arrogant people who seem to imply they know everything simply don't know how little theye know.

To end on "Oh," rhyming with so. A very clever input.
Great illustration of presumably God or Thor or Zeus. It fits well with your words.

Congratulations on your 100th post .. and on this rather amazing little poem. It is so full of meaning and matches every requirement for this contest. I know it will do well. I liked it very much.

Comment from CD Richards
I like this very much. Somewhat snarky, and rightly so.
Some believe they have a universal response that covers every mystery of life, and if they don't have a proper answer, they trot it out and the matter is closed. If only life were that simple.
It must be awful to know everything... what's left to learn?
I hope this does really well in the contest, and believe it will.

Some people think they have world by the tail if the world has a tail. They have so many degrees they could pass as a thermomotor. You hit the nail on the head with this short poem.

Quite a moralistic and a wake up call for those who think they know it all.
In so few words, you have written a poem which conveys meaning and a strong message!!

Great illustration for your WPE. If we knew everything we wouldn't be on planet earth. We are here to learn lessons and work out Karma. I wish you luck in the prompt. K xx

Congrats on milestone #100!
Just want you to know I voted for this.
You said a lot in 8 syllables! (This reminds me of my kids when they were teens!)

Comment from Rachelle Allen
HAHAHAHA. This describes a piano student of mine. In his mind, he's the most talented guy he ever met. In my mind, he was a complete and total slacker who, even though he was a Senior and had taken thirteen years with me, I had to cut from the Recital because he, in simplest terms, sucked.
When I saw this delightful 1-6-1 of yours, he and our final encounter, when I had to deliver the news that he had not delivered the goods and was being banned from the Recital, was what sprang to mind.
Thanks for the validation, and best of luck with the contest. I hope this finds you in the winner's circle!!!
