Planning

Making plans is not for fans Of spontaneity Though there’s relief in the belief You’re set, to some degree. Of course, there might be some remorse If what you’ve planned won’t work. Then you must change or rearrange And hidden fees might lurk. But planners know that most things go The way you did intend And when they don’t you hope they won’t Cause darkness to descend. I envy those who go with flows And make a last-sec score, Though having dates that one awaits Brings joy for weeks before.

Ilene, my Mum used to tell us : plans were made to be broken, spontaneity rarely disappoints. I am afraid my personality discarded this belief, I am one of those people that plans even the smallest detail of each task. Enjoyed your poem.
