O Analfabeto

Moreira da Silva Moreira da Silva

The Illiterate

The illiterate doesn't succeed in life
And has his work tied to others
The illiterate doesn't know anything
Doesn't read the news that come in the newspapers

The illiterate is a parrot
Only speaks because he hears others speak
And in case of signing a document
He leaves the mark of his thumb

When using his vocabulary
A doctoral student said to an illiterate at a dinner
He replied: 'My plate is full'
I'll accept just a little bit, to taste

I swear that in that environment
Everyone laughed at that suffering man
They asked him if he was a comedian, he said
- Me, huh doctor! Before 'sesse' but not 'esse'
