Twist And Turn

The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right. - Thoreau

Twist.

                                                                                       Twist.

Get the gist.

At the risk of straining your indecisive wrist.

Feel.

                                                                                   Don't think.

With an affectional nod and wink.

Live life on the brink.

Impotent skunks don't stink.

Heart beats forever, pumping indelible ink.

Turn.

                                     Turn.

Live and learn.

Crash and burn.

Think.

                                                                                                                          Don't feel.

No big lottery deal.

Nothing to heal.

Keep away from the crooked wheel.

Watch out for that slippery, banana peel.

Doesn't matter what each did.

Like the tentacles of a giant squid.

One gains traction.

Other goes into a deep skid.

To win, faith must outbid.

Hopefully, we've got the strength ...

... to open the right lid ...
