The Groupthink Crowd
What Jonathan's done the flock has shunned
he doesn't fit the mold
But off he flew the deep sky blue
his path so ever bold
Many thought his plan be fraught
with strife, defeat and doom
He didn't synch with groupthink
yet failure found no room
His mind was set and off he went
his actions were a dare
He never cowed to the crowd
Jonathan didn't care
As time wore on and Jonathan won
it all worked out as planned
Those within the 'groupthink crowd'
still couldn't understand
