[5] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

decide, v.i.  to succumb to the preponderance of one set of influences
over another set.

    a leaf was riven from a tree,
    "i mean to fall to earth," said he.

    the west wind, rising, made him veer.
    "eastward," said he, "i now shall steer."

    the east wind rose with greater force.
    said he:  "'twere wise to change my course."

    with equal power they contend.
    he said:  "my judgment i suspend."

    down died the winds; the leaf, elate,
    cried:  "i've decided to fall straight."

    "first thoughts are best?"  that's not the moral;
    just choose your own and we'll not quarrel.

    howe'er your choice may chance to fall,
    you'll have no hand in it at all.
                                                                  g.j.
