No Indispensable Man

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 04:00:11 +0000

Sometimes when you are feeling important, sometimes when your ego is in bloom,

Sometimes when you take it for granted, that you're the best qualified person in the room,

Sometimes when you feel that your going would leave an unfillable hole,

Just follow this simple instruction and see how it humbles your soul.

Put your hands in a bucket of water, immerse them up to your wrist,

Pull them out and the hole that remains is a measure of how you'll be missed.

You may splash all you please when you enter, you may stir up the water galore,

But stop - and you'll find in a minute that it looks just the same as before.

The moral of this is quite simple, just always do the best that you can,

Be proud of yourself - but remember that there is no indispensable man.
