Foolish actions happen all the time.
Somebody buys a nickel, drops a dime.
Another picks a hill too steep to climb.
In life there is a reason and some rhyme.
Perhaps a wrong way taken on a turn,
a cigarette that’s left too long to burn:
there’s danger everywhere, one ought to learn.
The trouble you receive is what you earn.
There will be times when nothing turns out right,
days screaming for a chance to pick a fight.
It’s best to bypass those and wait for night.
Let bad thoughts float out moonward like a kite.
Yes, foolish is the yin of yang’s staid life.
and often proves a stepping stone to strife,
draws one down paths of battle like a fife.
In this big world, foolishness is rife.
So, do not get discouraged if you fail.
Beyond the flowers hides the holy grail.
Put foolish far behind and then take sail.
If in a leaky boat, begin to bail.
