On Asking Advice

What happens when you ask advice?

Indecision isn't nice

So if you need professional gen

Ask an expert – and stay zen!

In business, this is always wise

In-house expertise is prized

But when emotions are involved

How should traumas be resolved?

Our inner feelings we can't show

Being tactful helps, I know

We put ourselves in others' shoes

Imagine what to do, enthuse ...

But we are wired in different ways

The workings of each brain amaze!

And body language can betray

All the noble words we say ...

So, should I give advice, or not

And unravel someone's knot?

To others' motives we are blind

Perhaps each must make up his mind ...
