Are You a Mugwump?
Are you a mugwump?
Whaaat?
A mugwump!
A mugwump is a bird
With his mug on one side of a tree branch
And his wump on the other side.
He lives in the land of in-between.
Some say, he is a fence straddler.
A mugwump is indecisive
And can’t make up his mind.
As a mugwump,
You don’t want to give up what you have
But you also want what you don’t have.
So you straddle.
To get off that branch,
You have to make a decision,
To make a decision,
You need to know your goal.
Knowing your goal will show your choices
But with choosing there is always risk,
You have to give up something
To get something.
So, either you dump with that wump,
Or you get off the branch.
