Apprentice
Do you know who I am?
Do you know my name?
My horoscope is Ram;
You I'll body slam.
Hitch yourself up with me,
See what you can see.
And after it's over,
You'll be my chauffeur.
You think the world is yours,
But are you so sure?
I know you've played some games,
That's your claim to fame.
You're wet behind your ears,
You're green out to here.
There's a lot you can learn,
Have to wait your turn.
I've got all the nads,
From hard knocks I'm a grad.
You may catch up someday,
Til then you must pay.

Thank you very much, Brenda, and for sure most of us have been down the gravel roads of hard knocks. You've been there. Being "more experienced" just means I probably paid no attention to that blinking red light in the back of my brain, saying, "Stop. idiot, for God's sake . . . STOP!"
