Little Jack Horner

What to do when the world
Makes you Little Jack Horner?
When it makes you turn back
and Go sit in the corner?

Should I surrender to life?
Demure, mild and meek?
Just forget the rewards
I intended to seek?

In this way, I win by wanting less,
But never thus win any grand success.

Should I resort to my rage,
My great soul-searing hate?
I can go further, best anything
When aroused in this state.

Or perhaps I'll seek aid from
My faith in a higher power.
But what if this route is His will?
I'll be turned back again in an hour.

Should I fight back by peace or war,
Greater risks and rewards would be in store.
