Today's word is "bellwether" ... BEL-weth-er ... a person or thing that shows the existence or direction of a trend; index. a wether or other male sheep that leads the flock, usually bearing a bell. (Dictionary.com)
Watch
When things are gettin' dicey,
And you're packing up to go,
And you're lookin' for a leader,
To avoid the common flow,
And your watchin' all the portents,
And you're looking for a sign,
Or maybe a bellwether,
So you know that you'll be fine,
Don't forget to take your compass,
And check in with your heart,
So that when the far shore's finally reached,
What's left won't fall apart.
