Expectations

We count on certain people To do what they’re known to do And then are disappointed if They somehow don’t come through. The organizers, shoppers, cooks, The ones who plan things out – We take a back seat, figuring It’s done, without a doubt. But sometimes someone doesn’t rise To others’ expectations, Which causes lacks and lapses And potential complications. We can’t assume that just because A person’s somehow skilled That he or she will be prepared To have that role fulfilled.
