I know plenty of elderly, I should, Who seem to know Everything about Nothing, And have the time To tell us. If we're not wise in youth, We're not necessarily wise In age. Experience needs tempering With a modicum of brains, Which may explain The Wisdom Fallacy.

The Wisdom Fallacy
I know plenty of elderly, I should, Who seem to know Everything about Nothing, And have the time To tell us. If we're not wise in youth, We're not necessarily wise In age. Experience needs tempering With a modicum of brains, Which may explain The Wisdom Fallacy.
As the scarecrow in Oz said: "I know an awful lot of people who do an awful lot of talking. And they have no brain."
