What Runs Downhill Poem by Patti Masterman

Why do you want to sink to the lowest common denominator?
Did somebody tell you there was a bottom to this thing?
It could take some doing, finding the lowest rung
You're not scared what you might lose while falling?

Is inertia really easier than climbing upward?
Really? But don't you worry your brain;
Down there, you'll never lack for the company of peers,
And if you can't plumb the depths of heaven,
You can still be head plumber in hell.
