once upon a time - TO DO OR NOT

TO DO OR NOT

It’s easy to say to do or not to do
Harder to do and accept what you do.
When Iwe, you, him or her ponder the imponderables,
Then it becomes so much harder to do or not to do.

Insecurities abound throughout your mind.
To do or not to do. Leave the rest up you.
Go here, go there. We’re told what to do or not to do.
Let’s say we do something, anything.

Then to do or not becomes a moot point
We have done something even though
the I told you so brigade will have a field day.
Okay, let’s access the damage we have caused if any.

To do or not to do is our question
Answer - just do it!
Do it and to heck with the consequences
Board that train, jump the plane, or a train

Got the heck outta there,
Now we are beyond the to do or not to do stage.
We’re travelling on down the road of who knows where and who cares
We decided to do and not prevaricate. Strange word that
When all we set out to decide upon was to do or not.
