A Lemming took a detour

Together and in unison
just like an oceans wave,
he watched and saw what others did
causing them to behave.

Over hill, past monuments,
across a great green lawn,
no obstacle would hinder them
they could not be withdrawn.

Decisions made by mass appeal,
in numbers sweet allure,
did not affect this lone Lemming
he took a quick detour.

Their he stood upon a rock
as others hurried by,
most tumbling head over heals
he drew a heavy sigh.

He then did hop
from off the rock
and scurried on his way,

while thanking God
that he could see
the bridge was out that day.
