I changed the title although I think it is fairly obvious who is doing the "fumbling". In the US, fumble means to do something clumsily. But thanks for the heads up.

shem,
All you noted was indeed incorrect. sometimes I have difficulty telling the difference between periods and commas. The "an" was originally there because it said "an eight grade education", and I forgot to change it when I changed it to grade school education. No, you are correct it is not meant to spew anger, it is more of a slightly anger/humorous take on these people who do two years of Jr. College and act as though they have just finished a doctorate (of course most doctorate grads don't known near as much as they think the do either.) The anger comes from me being on the receiving end of their undeserved overconfidence. Not all are that way, in fact most are not, but there are always a few out there to ruin your day
The moral (my poems are not generally moralistic), if there is one is treat people well, instead of trying to impress them, and you will both have a much more pleasant experience.
Maybe I will change the title back, see if I get any more input on it. The original was "nursery rhyme "

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
