Off the Shelf Solutions
Some solutions are better left on the shelf,
Even when we have turned into an elf,
If you have interest in the health of yourself.
It may be better to stay clear of the shelf,
If you want to continue thinking for yourself,
And you should never listen to an elf.
Shopping for ideas is not in the interest of good health,
As freedom to think for oneself is often lost to stealth,
That can reduce the need to open your mouth.
Fear of opening your mouth,
Is not in the interest of good health,
So, we should avoid going down that path.
Freedom to think,
Depends on fresh ink,
Not standing on the brink,
If you want new ideas to bank,
You should look to a think tank,
If you want to highly rank.
So, before you take a solution off the shelf,
Try thinking for yourself,
Instead of listening to an elf.
