"Don't be the fool that rushes."
So many tried to warn;
But hasty ego daring
Drove me out into the morn.
So bold and brave and foolish,
I ventured out alone,
With arrogant defiance,
To meet the great unknown.
So swiftly was I captured!
The price I paid was dear;
The lesson learned was 'caution'
For the jungle harbors fear.
copr. 1989 - Trinka Powers
