Reckless
Brace yourself, cos here comes life,
Ignoring health and safety –
Where bending rules and brains is rife,
And favouring the hasty.
Sometimes, being stupid pays,
And consequences turn out flat –
If not tomorrow, then today,
And here today is where it’s at.
It isn’t good advice, of course,
To hope for freak results,
But ignorance can be a force,
When logic somersaults.
For sometimes chaos lurks beneath,
Ignoring all our careful sums –
So grit your loins and gird your teeth,
And take life as it comes.
