"Jerry knocks you off jack"

[diesel dyke]

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.

[mnaz]

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

[stilltrucking]

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

[mnaz]

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

[stilltrucking]

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
