THE INDISPENSABLE MAN

             Some time when you're feeling important

 

         Some time when your ego's in bloom

 

         Some time when you take it for granted

 

         You're the best qualified man in the room

 

         Some time when you feel that your going

 

         Would leave an unfillable hole

 

         Just follow the simple instruction

 

         And see how it humbles your soul.

 

 

 

 

         Take a bucket and fill it with water,

 

         Put your hands in it up to the wrists,

 

         Pull them out - and the hole that remains,

 

         Is the measure of how you'll be missed.

 

         You may splash all you please when you enter,

 

         You may stir the water galore'

 

         But stop, and you'll find in a minute,

         That it looks just the same as before.

 

 

 

 

         The moral of this is quite simple,

 

         Do just the best that you can,

 

         Be proud of yourself - but remember,

 

         There is no indispensable man.
