One day you learn that judgment's not equal
That some people's brains are drenched in treacle
If a point could be missed they reliably miss it
If the facts are laid bare, they assemble a misfit
They breed utter chaos when reasons are plain
They waste all our time to quibble again
Their words are spoken as if they make sense
But leave you baffled at someone so dense
Most people roll with fair intuition
Following the likely in each situation
Navigating life with a dollop of gumption
Knowing to avoid the dead-end junctions
Knowing to separate the fact and the fiction
and knowing to avoid deep introspection
Knowing to avoid the cult and conspiracy
and knowing it's bad to obsess on what could be
Knowing to keep right away from improbable
and knowing to focus instead on what's possible
Knowing that having a head that's screwed on
Will generally mean that you won't go far wrong!
But this one's bonce lacks the rational circuit
And if it's in there, they still haven't found it
It's full of malfunctions and well off the scale
Please all stand back to avoid their flail
Pondering deeply about such befuddlement
I stop and give thanks for my own better judgement

Thank you. It seems the only way to express myself sometimes.
That 'better judgement' will always make your/our lives so much better.
