Go With the Flow

When you go with the flow
it can lead to a nice pond,
relax, float upon your tube
amidst the leafy fronds.

But sometimes a nice flow
doesn’t end good at all,
sometimes that river flings
you off a waterfall.

Should you go with the flow?
Well I can’t help you there,
but if you go with the flow
it is best to take care.

You may end up nowhere.

Interesting, and a bit of a comeuppance to all those who preach that you 'simply must' go with the flow, let the game come to you, etc., etc., bleah, bleah, bleah. :) gw

Well even there, if we all flowed and wrote exactly what we were thinking, they'd probably chuck us all off this site! Who knows. Thanks for reading. Glad you enjoyed it.
