Common Sense needs exercise,
A turn in the fresh air.
Don’t drive your car,
Over a bridge,
Sat Nav said wasn’t there.
Common Sense has gotten weak,
And needs a good work out.
Please smell that food,
That’s past its date,
Before you throw it out.
It used to be our best defense,
Our natural built-in Common Sense.
Now it’s something we ignore,
And it’s not so common any more.
