Common Sense

COMMON SENSE
Dr. Jim Martin


Sense is not always common sense.
It is sometimes, quite frankly, extremely dense.
It often leaves one straddling the fence,
Or causes others to go on the defense.

It often stems from careless thought,
Or sometimes results from being distraught.
Many have, therefore, often thought,
Why did it not go the way it ought?

Common it is with the one who began,
To put together an awesome plan.
To him every process is simply grand,
And on that logic, he will forever stand.
