Broken Plans

Plans are often broken; That’s just the way it goes. Though written down or spoken, We should still be on our toes. For all the best intentions May topple and collapse And all our interventions Might not fill in all the gaps. We may feel bummed and thwarted But the only worthwhile course Is to have Plan B supported Or to wallow in remorse.

As long as you've got Plan A, then Plan B is not so bad, I say. Good one, Ilene!
