We were walking together and my arms swing naturally
Out in concert and opposite to each leg,
And my walking partner started pushing my one arm back,
And it felt so awkward and strange.
"Stop it,"I said.  "That feels so weird.
It's unnatural to my gait."
"What do you mean?" he asked,
And I explained.
"Oh, ok then," he exclaimed,
And started pushing my arm the way it wanted to go.
"That feels almost just as bad,"I said.
"It still feels pushy!"

It made me think of some people I know
Whose motto just may be:
"If you can't tell others what to do,
Find out what they're going to do,
And tell em to do that."
