Harum-scarum ...

Today's word is harum-sacrum ... HAIR-uh m-SKAIR-uh m ... reckless; rash; irresponsible. (Dictionary.com)

Duck

Yes, they're running harum-scarum,

And yes, we are just ahead,

Like the bulls with horns enormous,

Fears are coming, seeing red.

Duck down in the darkened alley,

Maybe their eyesight's not so hot,

But I've heard that fears are tricky,

Hard from our tired brains to blot.

If we can fairly navigate,

Fast and far or high or deep,

And fill our minds with better thoughts,

There'll be no place for them to creep.
