I Will Never Take Instruction from a Consonant

 

Whenever I’m down, and feeling a little blue

I wonder whatever it is I can do

What traditional learning I can pursue

To recover the happiness I once knew

 

I shun the transient, the ever-new

The latest fashions the unlettered construe

For I will follow Wisdom, just and true

Wherever She leads me, my whole life through

 

I will never take instruction from a consonant

And I know, wise friend, that neither will you
