Analysis of Worthy To Teach
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Some choose not to learn to listen.
And few who refuse to not pay attention,
Are not necessarily...
Born with more intelligence.
But try harder to know something,
Worthy enough to teach others...
How not to grow up,
Pretending to be adults.
Yet become,
All knowing fools!
To do that done to teach,
As an asset kept to value.
