Occam's Razor
Occam was a friar who decided that in problem-solving
One principle he was thinking and quietly evolving
It seemed to him when deciding a problem with two solutions
The one with the clearest option with fewer assumptions
Is the correct one to be selecting
And so will be less perplexing
It’s just another piece of legal jargon
That will be for people ordinarily no bargain
All it means when you strip it down
Is pick the simplest explanation around
Without a series of things to happen one after another
To make each conspiracy theory not go any further
So when sliding down Occam’s Razor
Do yourself a favour
When coming to a considered solution
Don’t count conspiracy theory pollution
Look for the simplest explanation
And go for that one without hesitation
