Quatrain of Squandered Knowledge

Squandered Knowledge - you didn't learn much

If you put all you know up against all
that is known, where
would you
stand?

I have a sinking feeling you wouldn't
measure up very close,
I'm thinking
offhand.

You have squandered your life grabbing
a few facts and then
you drifted
off,

Because there is so much to know and
so little time, you just
abandoned your place
at the knowledge
trough.
