Whenever you’re called on to make up your mindAnd you’re hampered by not having any,The best way to solve your dilemma, you’ll find,Is simply by spinning a penny.No, not so that chance will decide the affairWhile you’re passively standing there moping;But, the moment the penny is up in the air,You suddenly know what you’re hoping.(Piet Hein)
Whenever you’re called on to make up your mind
And you’re hampered by not having any,
The best way to solve your dilemma, you’ll find,
Is simply by spinning a penny.
No, not so that chance will decide the affair
While you’re passively standing there moping;
But, the moment the penny is up in the air,
You suddenly know what you’re hoping.
(Piet Hein)
