When all's said and done, I'm pretty smart.
I understand novels. I understand art.
I understand carpentry, with saw and hammer.
I understand gerunds. I understand grammar.
I understand fishing, fly casting and hooking.
I understand sewing. I understand cooking.
Which leads me to mention, I understand fire.
And I understand music; I've been in a choir.
I understand planets, moons, stars, and suns.
I understand weapons, like arrows and guns.
I understand animals, like cats, deer, and dogs.
I understand weather, with its blizzards and fogs.
But one thing is impossible to understand:
The emotions and passions of humans. Just man.
