Rolling With the Punches

Sometimes things work out exactly How you’d hoped they would, With plans and people meeting up In just the way they should. However, that is not the norm And, though you may prepare, A perfect execution of A plan is pretty rare. Though rolling with the punches is Not easy, on the whole, It might be best when circumstances Slip from your control.

And just hope that not too many of those "punches" are...below the belt. A very astute commentary, Ilene.
