Preponderance

Here’s a truth that’s absolute: If something is considered cute, That label long won’t be applied If what was cute gets multiplied. Like chipmunks – always in a hurry; Charming in their need to scurry. One or two of them seems fine; More than that, I draw the line. Lately, they are everywhere. Once shy, today they even dare To race around where people tread Without the slightest bit of dread. Emboldened by their numbers, they Make hay and will not go away. Preponderance can help dilute What was, in moderation, cute.
