Fast and Loose

A smattering of traumas and despair
Among the innocent, the placid fools
Who graduated from the finest schools
Only to fail to understand what care
Was needed when you want to breathe the air
Pumped out for more experienced men, cools
The atmosphere. It's time to learn the rules
That govern failure and success: don't share.

What you have finds itself resisting use,
And ending up in someone else's pocket
With all the speed of Occam's famous rocket.
You thought it was a razor? Some papoose
Thought that was funny, and played fast and loose
With facts. Don't stick your finger in that socket.
