Riding a bike with a bag on your head,
Driving backward with your head in a pail,
Jogging when covered by an old bedspread,
Downhill skiing with a dark canvas veil,
Playing baseball with a sack for a hat,
Running down the stairs with a kale blindfold,
Sprinting with your eyes smeared with bacon fat,
Skating with your head wrapped in scarves of gold,
Water skiing with a mask painted black,
Mowing the yard with your head in a box,
Diving with your head in an old backpack,
Climbing with your eyes wrapped with stinky socks;
You’d never try these things—to stay alive,
And yet, you text on your phone when you drive?

Maybe common sense isn’t so common after all…
