Stand by Your Brain Sometimes it’s hard to be an intellectual Giving your attention to more than one book You’ll read good books And read some bad books And some you won’t understand But if you love learning You’ll forgive them Even though Sartre you don't understand And if you don’t want to be a dumb-ass And prove you have some class That philosophy course you’ll pass. Stand by your brain Give it lots of books to read Because more IQ points you need On quizzes and puzzles let it feed To make it think with more speed. Stand by your brain And show the world you can add two and two And read Being and Nothingness as fast as you can Stand by your brain. |
Author notes
One day I was looking after a very sweet little old lady who kept playing this country CD with Tammy Wynette's Stand by Your Man song on it over and over again. Now I got that damn song burned permenantly into my subconscious. Maybe a good parody of it will erase it somehow.
How is the rhyming scheme on this poem? What can I improve?

This is your second poem for me! And again, it seems you had a lot of fun writing this one too! I commend that!!
That said, I didn't really get this one.
Is "Stand by your brain" the song you are parodying? A bit confused. :-s
And being and Nothingness? That sounds like a yawny book!
