OMNISCIENCE by BURGES JOHNSON

First Line: I'VE BEEN TO SCHOOL AT LEAST A HUNDRED DAYS
Last Line: AND, MAYBE, GOD.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; KNOWLEDGE; CHILDHOOD;

I've been to school at least a hundred days
Or maybe more;
My brother, he just stays at home and plays,—
He's only four.

I'm old. I know that gnomes and elves and such
Are just a fraud.
There's no one 'cept my daddy knows so much,
And, maybe, God.
