"...
One evening she was thinking up
Some fuzzy little stuff,
And Sister sighed, 'This stuff's all right,
But it's not fun enough.
'I've got to think up bigger things.
I'll bet I can, you know.
I'll speed my Thinker-Upper up
As fast as it will go!
'Think! Think!' she cried.
Her Thinker-Upper gave a snorty snore.
It started thunk-thunk-thunking
As it never had before.
With all her might, her eyes shut tight,
She cried, 'Thunk-thunk some more!'

An exerpt from one of my daughter's favorite bedtime stories. A cute children's book, it also describes the deeper implications of not "leaving well enough alone."
