The Indispensable Referee
Whenever you're feeling important,
Whenever your ego's in bloom,
Whenever you take it for granted
You're the best Ref in the room,
Whenever you feel what you're doing
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow this simple instruction
And see how it humbles your soul:
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to your wrist,
Pull it out....and the hole that's missing,
Is a measure of how you'll be missed.
You may splash all you please when you enter,
You can stir up the waters galore,
But stop, and you'll find in a minute
It looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint example
Is be the best you can be,
Proud of yourself but remember...........
There's no indispensable Referee.
