Whenever you're called on to make up your mind,
and you're hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.
No — not so that chance shall 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

True wisdom knows
it must comprise
some nonsense
as a compromise,
lest fools should fail
to find it wise.

Piet Hein

Foes
of what's cooking
see no worth behind it.
Those
that are looking
for nothing — will find it.
