Oddly Enough

Listen to poem:

"Go along to get along" a wise man he once said (altho' I don't concur) but it occurred to me neither follower nor leader be if you want to get ahead and if the herd you stroll behind please do consider the view (but not too closely) yet what is worse yes you may curse that which you step into some believe the squeaky wheel it should be removed (not receive the grease) as all's smooth-run when replaced by a working one or so it has been proved to mindlessly open the mouth thoughtless of going kaput (only to change feet) it seems to me an opportunity to put a bullet in one's foot the nail that sticks out it should be applauded (not hammered down) as one may fall for anything and those who stand for something they should be rewarded tho' possibly preaching to the choir some say it's idle chatter (willy-nilly silly patter) let's not forget to forgive or to live and let live as ALL lives matter
