Being quite contrary, I stepped upon the 'iffy' frozen ice puddle
Independent as a hog in full view of its imminent slaughter
With each directed force taken-may lead to going plum under
Why am I in this unsolvable dilemma? Sure is a mind-boggling puzzle.

Been so many others - while questioning the wisdom of my wiser elders
'Boy, you sure got yourself into a big mess this time - please reconsider
When taking upon the upheaval of all of the extremes of natural conditions'
'Crawl out of there right now, soon a cup of coffee - justifiable, simple pleasure.'
