Thinking things is dead good
It fires the neurons and stirs the blood
Thinking really is super nice
Why think once, when we could think twice?
Cognition is the absolute biz
It is open to all, even when lacking the riz
Cognition is a such great lark
Whether it’s political theory or where to park
Feelings are also super, smashing and ace
They make our hearts quicken their pace
Feelings are really such a great blast
Appreciate them as long as they last
Ideas are also remarkably cheap
They cost nothing and are easy to keep
Ideas may not always set us free
But they can distract us from needing a wee
Beware, beware, I say
Do not throw your thinking time away
Without it our brains will fail
Leaving us unable to tell the tale
To stay alive
It is essential, and not just now and then
To turn technology off and so turn on again. ■
