Book sense doesn't mean he's with
Any common sense.

The mentality of the fool.

The fool has common sense,
The genius has solutions.

With common sense so sporadic 

I just want to be emphatic

But with all this social static

It's hard to remain pragmatic

Figures lie

May my adversity
be enameled with civility
May my diversity
be filled with commonality
May my best move
always be 'Common Sense'

Second Lady, Karen Pence
Surely lacks all common sense
  Teaching at a private Christian school
  She's just so tone-deaf; it's so un-cool

Headless

How I crave to tease these
Cocks with a one tract mind
Like headless chickens 
Blind and deaf to common sense
Clueless, mindless, and pathetic.

Common Sense

How can a sharer of knowledge and maker of books not know the simple act of painting his thoughts through words?

If anybody else’s fears 
fill the nights
You will absolutely hear 
somebody else’s cries;
Please, let me know
why, then, common sense dies

Wyoming sure lacks common sense
To believe in Trump, but not Pence!
A bankrupt and liar
Can prey like a friar
Wyoming is spacious yet dense!

Holy Daze

Many people believe in a god
That common sense reveals as a fraud
An Heavenly Father
Knows kin are a bother
But needs no mortal to wield the rod!

A pragmatic VP named Mike Pence
Exhibits uncommon common sense--
   Stays out of Trump's way
   Lives another day--
Careful not to give or to take offense

is the one abused by all
not too far behind
is sight hear touch smell and taste…

Though on the outside I look rather dull
I keep a secret deep down in my skull
I fool the world with common sense behaviour
Ha! No one knows that God lives here in Hull!

Our souls grow corrupted more by the hour

With common sense it comes as no surprise 

By our own hands insure our own demise

Making mistakes is a great way to learn
     Find out what went wrong and correct it

   Except when it comes to a parachute cord
     ~ Use common sense: first inspect it

A Higher Pitch

I tried to jump over this high fence,
I did not use any common sense,
for when I jumped -- I got stuck,
reproduction's out of luck,
I wish I could have back my two... cents?

Air - Anxiety - Sapphic Stanza

Parachuting has its advantage – Freefall!
Flying, screaming, scareder than ever prior
Chute won’t open!  Now I am coming, gliding
Hope MY chute opens!

two wrongs don't make a right let common sense prevail tears won't wash away the pain world war III will only cause more grief let common sense prevail

Premium Member The Lucy Mcvey Challenge

Lucy McVey was the most exasperating woman from M.U. 
Anyone with a lick of common sense would have run away from that woman.
So of course she was the one every guy tried to entice.
