Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

My Epitaph

Those who are ever-persistent
   take pride in being consistent
Never quitting what they start
   they're considered quite smart...

Others hem and haw, never sure
   if they should move on or stay put
Yet whenever they choose to move on
   they feel they shot themselves in the foot...

As for me, I'm nor twixt nor between
   'cos based on the evidence I've seen
These words be my epitaph
   ~ He planned; God laughed
