My Common Sense Or Confidence
Blessed with common sense confidence
and combine the two incompetence
I've sense too scared too assert
or am dense uncared and blurting
individually both work well and shine
but when put together the circuit dies
I need to configure the controls for
my common sense and confidence
as combining their roles triggers
a can’t compute incompetence
thinking clearly working out the way
yet undoubtedly out to hide
or fearless energetic waves
spraying senseless as to why
with unconfigured controls
which conflict and dissolve
the power I hold
on their roles
I can’t think stay calm
and be active in command
without feeling bamboozled
producing confusion to use
I choose this stanza most unusefully confuse-ald
to leave you more bamboozled than usual
as I'm reduced to invent-use-and boozled-out
while you's all wonder what's this fuse-ald he's forged about?
and those last lines I have confidence in
though the common sense is missing
as I say this confidence shrinks
common sense presses suggestion
thinks I should go back address
but I'll keep lines confident they express
what I stress is my mess up to now lessen
Blessed with common sense confidence
and combine the two incompetence
