If you would ascertain your own true view

Upon some matter whereof you can speak

Or estimate some quality anew

So to provide the counsel people seek

Do not enquire from me what I assess

Lest what I say weigh heavy on the scales

Nor ask me questions answered “no” or “yes”

So we collude and groupthink then prevails

We each must measure independently

Being mindful as we do so to beware

The tendency to follow and agree

And, having measured, only then compare

For as Professor Asch has clearly shown

The views of others influence our own
