Sometime, when you're feeling important,
Sometime, when your Ego's in bloom,
Sometime, when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room.

Sometime, when you feel that your going,
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow this simple instruction
And see how it humbles your soul:

Take a bucket, and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it, up to the wrist,
Pull it out, and the hole that's remaining,
Is a measure of how you'll be missed.

You can splash all you please when you enter,
You can stir up the water galore,
But stop and you'll find in a minute,
That it looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example,
Is to do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself, but remember,
There is no indispensible man !
