The Wisdom of a Muffin

it is extreme heat
in a tight spot
that makes the muffin rise
to show its purpose
to give delight
to be useful to others

then why is it
that when we feel the heat
and when we are in a tight spot
we show our weakness
we give complaints
and we become useless to others? 

it is perchance
that the wisdom of the muffin
that rises to the occasion
that stands up to be counted
trumps our own?
