Limited

Decisions are much easier
When choices that you face
Are limited enough that you
Find one you can embrace.

For when so many options
Are presented, you might find
It all so overwhelming that
You’re really in a bind.

You weigh the pros and cons of each
And then you might get stuck
Or possibly be tempted
(If you can) to pass the buck.

I like when my selections
Narrow down to A or B,
Which makes making a decision 
Much less filled with stress for me.

I'm with you here, Ilene, 100%. A lot of options were fine at one point in my life, but, now, one or two suits me just fine.

I liked it even better when I could choose between B & B, like I did as a member of the Soviet Communist Party! lol.

If only life were so simple, Ilene. Alas, it rarely is. Smart write, with your perfect rhyme, as always. Terry
