Just Let the Frog Jump


Just Let the Frog Jump
Christopher Bogart

Someone once told me
That if you take a frog apart
To see how it jumps,
It will not jump again.

I’ve always been the kind of guy
Who relies upon his wits.
I think a situation out.
And, if that doesn’t work,
I think about it more.

I’ve always found logic
To give me more security
Than to invest emotion
To figure out what works.

But sometime thinking
Is very over rated.
Sometimes it’s just best
To leave the thinking cap
In the drawer –

Sometimes feeling,
Not thinking
Works more.

Sometimes it’s best
Just to let
The frog jump.
