A Beautiful Mind

As older I grow, the more that I know
and learnings I should share.
A pretty young face and adventurous tastes
can lead you anywhere.
But you must learn to say no. You reap what you sow
and the world is full of sharks.
When your looks start to fade and you can't on them trade
and you know you know nothing of quarks.
By all means enjoy the power of coy-
exploitation cuts both ways-
but use your brain more, it's your future for sure
and beauty is often a phase.
Learn a language, a trade, your brain marinade
in knowledge occid- and oriental,
so when you're short on coffers you've plenty of offers.
You'll be useful, not just ornamental.
