Indispensability.

Sometime when you are feeling important
Sometime when your ego is in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room.

Sometime when you feel that your going
would leave an unfillable hole -
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how it humbles your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it upto the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is the measure of how indispensable you are.
You may splash all you please when you enter,
You can stir up the water galore;
But stop and you'll find in a minute
That it looks quite the same as before.
The moral in this quaint example
Is - Do the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself, but remember
There is no indispensable man!

dear Mr. KRS (Jr)

You can see for yourself, how a little punctuation makes
the poem more readable and understandable.

Your titles are very good. But I guess there is nothing worth discussing
and the thread slips and slides backwards.

It will be better and look more attractive in statistics
if you post all the poems in a single thread as some of us do here.

Good luck to you sir!
