The experienced human are too boring,
Always carrying the rattans for canning,
The advisory signs of dangerous warning,
And the verses stickers for remembering,

The more they are experienced,
The more they get stable and old,
Their nonstop cautious statements,
Never appeal to the youngsters at heart.

A few subtle shoot up straight,
Withstanding the climes of storms and fight,
The house of wisdom has no place for clowns,
The wise young and old are alike and never get drowned.
