You have made three glaring errors:
a)The boy in the poem is merely fictional, and therefore incapable of acquiring knowledge or skills.
b)You have confused the expression "To stand on ones's face" with the action of actually physically standing on one's face.
c)I never claimed to write poetry for a living (though I of course could do if I so chose). You can't just make a word into an insult by putting it in inverted commas.
