Poem : A Psychological Tip

Something that came to me as a forward. It is quite funny.

A Psychological Tip
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

I googled on Piet Hein and found that he was danish, a mathematician and a quirky poet. His short poems are called Grooks. Here is the link to many more.
