Occam's Razor

OCCAM's RAZOR*

If:
       	your husband works til ten
        your wife has cramps again
         your kid stays out all night
Things at work don’t seem just right

Reasons why may be a lot
while your gut ties up in knots
Easiest and often worst
Is the thing you think of first

Occam says:

Many reasons could explain
Why bad actions have been done
But the first that hits your brain
Usually is the accurate one





*Occam was a 14th century philosopher/scientist that said the simplest answer is the best--this was in reference to science as well as life

Razor:  short concise answer
