On a train
You can meet your next eureka
Don't forget it
Or let it slip away
They come about once a day
And leave in drips and drabs
When passion stabs
And fiddles,
Don't twiddle
It might hit you in Topeka
Or find you in Spain
Better to spread yourself thin --
Get right in
You'll be straddling adventure!
Why settle for indenture?
Did I mention
My initial intention?
To lead by example
Then offer a sample
If you see me tomorrow
And I seem quite the same
Remind me to dream bigger
For sorrows over failure are not half as lame
As not having pulled the trigger
And feeling no shame
