The Other Shoe
Hurricanes can happen;
Flights can get delayed.
You can never really count
On plans you might have made.
Viruses can catch you;
Traffic bog you down.
Roads may close when politicians
Travel to your town.
Never think disaster
Is a thing you can avoid,
Though to worry ‘bout it constantly
Would make you paranoid.
Still, when life is going smoothly
And you feel like you’re on top,
It’s realistic to expect that soon
The other shoe will drop.
