Four Different Types Poem by Randy McClave

Human beings are of four different types
All of different buildups and of different hypes,
Of different descriptions and of a difference kind
And of course with a different mind.
But, each of the 4 human being type knows,
What their thinking and what their knowing shows.

A man who knows, and knows that he knows
Through all his learning he shows,
Take your time and patiently from him learn
Then one day it will be your turn,
Listening to him is worth your time or your dollar,
Because, this man is a scholar.

A man who knows, but does not know that he knows
But, remembers by counting his fingers and toes,
This one man has forgotten
Of all he has ever done and has boughten.
So, if you want to take a gracious whim,
Knowing of his knowledge quietly and kindly remind him.

A man who does not know, and knows that he does not know
He wants his mind and intellect to grow,
This one man is a starving student
He is also ongoing and very prudent.
So, this is what I believe and what I will say,
Teach him continuously, because he will be a great scholar one day.

A man who does not know, and does not know that he does not know
He is like raw uncooked dough
He isn't interested at all in learning and knowing
He doesn't want his mind and intellect growing.
This man earns no respect,
This one is an idiot, so him you should quickly reject.
