When a Notion Strikes

When a notion strikes, seize it And think it through with care Wrap in it like a warm blanket When a notion strikes, seize it, Mull it over and then make it fit Keep or discard it, as you dare When a notion strikes, seize it, And think it through with care. written December 9, 2021

Great counsel in this triolet, Milton; when the chance presents itself, one should grasp it and know how to capitalize on it. Thank you for sharing.
