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!
