nd had to live, and so, to live
A I learned the trade of making watches
And kept the jewelry store on the square,
Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking,
Not of business, but of the engine
I studied the calculus to build.
And all Spoon River watched and waited
To see it work, but it never worked.
And a few kind souls believed my genius
Was somehow hampered by the store.
It wasnt true. The truth was this:
I didnt have the brains.
