Bring it Down

Bring it down a notch

Not a wild dive ...

Managable spiral Please!

if there is so much as one

surprise here things are

going to get harder

to hold together

we have no time

to cheer right now

 

Put Down the bull horn

Speak sternly and

you will be heard

if what you say

is received and agreed

then open a forum

for those that wish

to comment

 

Slow down a bit

pace your self to condition

muscles and energy

for the long road ahead

a chance to watch

the scenery that is

along the way
