I was a lot like you: carefree, happy and blissful. This was before my
life took a tragic turn, a turn which I sense you are on the verge of
taking. There is no help for me, unfortunately, but perhaps my story
will prevent you from falling into the abyss into which I have been
thrown.


Life it seems for many, is with awful trials and dangers fraught,
but by far the worst of these, is the tendency to independent thought.
this causes havoc, and upsets the natural order of events,
and may be quite painful to, for those with such unfortunate bents.

You may well seek for understanding, even knowledge on your path,
but I beg of you be circumspect, for independent thought may cause great
wrath,
Your wife just will not see the point, and if you try main force,
before long you will need another wife, after your divorce.

At parties folk avoid you, you may begin to wonder if you stink?
this is not the reason though, they merely fear that you will actually
think!
it might be contagious after all, and where would all this end?
if the neighbours knew that they were seen with a thinking friend.

"Look before you leap", is good advice, take it well to heart,
but better still my friend, "Stop thinking, before you even start!",
is better still, and all through life, will stand you in good stead,
unlike some, who waste most of theirs by thinking, ´till they´re dead!

Thinking then should be eschewed, it causes problems, even discontent,
no good protesting afterwards you "thought" with good intent,
it will not wash, that dog wont hunt, pride goeth before a fall,
just look how many happy folks there are, who never think at all!
