Philosophize This

Stupid is as stupid does
Is greatest statement, ever was
No thing’s been said that is more true…
You are the stupid things you do
It’s better to keep silent too
And let them THINK the fool is you
Don’t rashly let dim thoughts fly out
And risk removing all their doubt
Here’s advice to you I’ll lend
Too many triumph’s meet their end
When, gain so close, and fear disrupts
Success eludes when you give up!
We only have one go around
So best to smile than get ground down
If learn, we can, don’t sweat small stuff
That once around should be enough!
Crestfallen, then to words take heed
Do not go where that path may lead
There will not be that fear to fail
If you veer off, and leave own trail
Of all the things you must think through
This curls one’s toes, for tis too true
Revenge you seek? Then this you do
Dig not one grave - you must dig two…
This ode imparts the wisest thing
Such clarity, these plain words bring
They’ll resonate, when we’re long gone
No matter what, Life will go on…
