Sometimes Not a Great Notion

Sometimes a great notion
is to jump into the ocean.
It can be a good idea, 
but it's not a panacea. 
The concept doesn't suck,
if you're a pelican or duck.

Haha, yup, then it would be a decidedly bad notion. I guess, I should amend this train of thought: sometimes a really bad notion.
