            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 you're going
            Would leave an unfillable hole,
            Just follow these simple instructions
            And see how they humble your soul.


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


            You can splash all you wish when you enter,
            You may stir up the water galore,
            But stop, and you'll find that in no time
            It looks quite the same as before.


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