Nothing to do with boating but......,

If all good people were clever,
and all clever people were good,
the world would be nicer than ever,
I thought that it possibly could.
But, somehow it is seldom or never,
that the two get along as they should,
for the good are so cruel to the clever,
and the clever so harsh to the good
