having a smart friend

whenever
i have a problem with anything
i call my
friend Frank.
he knows everything about
everything.
he's what you call 
a know it all.
relationship issues,
he's got that.
religion, politics,
the environment,
he'll set you straight with
all of that too.
plumbing, electricity.
the theater, sports
or music,
current events.
he knows everything.
i'm not sure how he became
so smart.
i've never seen him
read a book or a newspaper,
and he's never
been to college,
but
he is smart.
if he sees you walking
down the street,
he'll stop you and show you
a better way to walk.
telling you
which foot to push off on,
and how to move
your hips
to be more efficient 
in your walking.
he is one smart cookie.
