Your Gut

You can check consumer guides Until your face turns blue; When buying something major, That’s what many people do. When planning a vacation, Those same folks do that as well, Believing that it will prevent That holiday from hell. But that’s not how we operate (My spouse and I agree), For all the research in the world Won’t grant a guarantee. So every purchase that we make Or trip that we arrange Is one we’ve chosen on a hunch, Which others might find strange. It works for us, yet there are those Who’d argue with a “But…” To them, I’d simply have to say It pays to trust your gut!

The more we live the more we learn. Sometimes your cold, sometimes you burn. But when it comes down to the end. Your right on track when your gut's your friend.

You are so right, dear Ilene. No-one knows better that this "gut feeling" when you have got it! This is the absolute guarantee! A beautifully developed poem. Enjoyed it!
