On Getting a Second Opinion
Some folks think their advice alone will suffice
But I’m inclined to seek a second opinion --
On a few occasions, I’ve sought some thrice.
I don’t think getting more knowledge is a vice,
Even if solicited from a friend or companion
Some folks think their advice alone will suffice.
When I receive excellent advice, it is so nice
Receiving affirmation improves my disposition
On a few occasions, I’ve sought some thrice.
Of course, for good counsel one pays a price
Especially from a professional to reexamine
Some folks think their advice alone will suffice!
Opinions? -- sometimes it’s a toss of the dice
Like playing a competitive game of backgammon
On a few occasions, I’ve sought some thrice.
It’s probably not good to ask an expert twice
Seeking more advice doesn’t bring on a famine,
Some folks think their advice alone will suffice
On a few occasions, I’ve sought some thrice.
