April A to Z blogging challenge Wisdom

‘Wisdom comes with age,’ it’s said,

But what age must I reach

Before perception fills my head

And thoughts precede my speech?

With every passing year I find

I’m child-like yet and silly,

While others educate their minds

I’m still just froth and frilly.

I should be wise by now, you see,

It’s showing in my teeth,

But though I may look ninety-three

I’m eighteen underneath.
