A Tale of Two Wise Men
When young and full of questions,
Kneeling at Grandpa's knee
I learned of one whose wisdom
Marked him out in history
I think he was Italian
Judging by his name
Cause every question that I asked
I would hear the same refrain,
Gordoni knows, Gordoni knows
and Gordoni knows again.
Years later in the army I
Learned of a wiser man
Who judging by his name
I took to come from Vietnam
When it came to answered questions
By an incredible stroke of luck
What Mr Gordoni didn't know
was known by Mr Phuk.
