A poem written to reassure the poet's best friend who needlessly suffers from the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a cognitive bias where high performers have a tendency to underestimate their skills.
more off the charts together—a fact
that's evident and plainly clear.
Though opposites, they say, attract,
we are apart (but we adhere,
as two best friends who interact).
Each one more than one in a billion,
you and I rule the normal curve:
a point that's no sin or rude penillion,
but a blessing that we both deserve.
More than one in a hundred quintillion
together, we're the Federal Reserve!
We are like two peas in a pod,
with brains in quantum entanglement.
It's spooky how chance works, and odd,
how two minds so intelligent
can intersect in life. Only God
can be this good and benevolent!

Two Peas in a Pod
We're off the charts alone! But we'remore off the charts together—a fact
that's evident and plainly clear.
Though opposites, they say, attract,
we are apart (but we adhere,
as two best friends who interact).
Each one more than one in a billion,
you and I rule the normal curve:
a point that's no sin or rude penillion,
but a blessing that we both deserve.
More than one in a hundred quintillion
together, we're the Federal Reserve!
We are like two peas in a pod,
with brains in quantum entanglement.
It's spooky how chance works, and odd,
how two minds so intelligent
can intersect in life. Only God
can be this good and benevolent!
