Texans say the darndest things,
interesting rhetoric
A knock off is a cheap imitation
But I don't think that is how the bear was using that figure of speech.

I hate to admit I was wrong but I spent an hour looking for definitions for the phrase "knocks you off" and I could not find the one I had in mind.
Bums me, to admit I was wrong, I guess I will have to check with the ultimate source of what he meant. I will have to ask the bear.

yes, ask the bear.
he's probably annoyed
that his wisdom was laid out,
so unprotected and exposed,
so real and undetected.

It could be mnaz
But I usually know when the bear is annoyed
It shows up at the end of his fist
Emerging out of the formless mist

Or not.
Or a Fist.
So real and undetected.
Wisdom laid out.

I can't take a punch like I used to
My bones brittle from all that wisdom
Wise in my own eyes
A word to the wise
Or pearls before swine
Wisdom or vanity
much the same
