Sometimes we find we do things too complex

In our efforts to make things easier, blessed ...

And then realization of all the expended effort

Leaves us with feelings which are quite taut



For we have accomplished things in ways ...

Which may have left others in a slight daze

And then we become quite perplexed to find

Complex layouts wind up leaving others blind



So we then take time to reassess our worth

And to consider other ways to provide mirth

By simplifying things we have done before

Perhaps - by re-initiating, from other shores



Shoving off from dock in an all-new boat

One without holes, and which will float

More easily and smoothly than the other

Which, perhaps, needs a complete redo 

                                ... cover to cover ...
