This world is an endless puzzle, that's true. <br /> We go through life trying to figure out what to do. <br /> Just to make life for us a whole lot better. <br /> While we follow the rules right to the letter. <br /> We always look for something on which to depend. <br /> And usually are somewhat short out at the end. <br /> To count on something solid seems to be our aim. <br /> I guess there are ways we can do it in this game. <br /> But if we fall short the thought still lingers. <br /> The one thing you can count on is your fingers. <br /> <br /> When we miss our mark we go down the tube. <br /> It's a game where you sometimes look like a cube. <br /> There's sure one rule which applies to us all. <br /> But if you miss it you are in for a big fall. <br /> You scratch your head and try another tack. <br /> You know from where you stand you can't turn back. <br /> You need something that will surely work for you. <br /> But in case you fail that old thought still lingers. <br /> The one thing you can count on is still your fingers.<br /><br />Guy Hoffmann<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-can-still-count-on-your-fingers/
