By now you know Things don’t go As you like them to, The plans you make Do easily break Little you can do. Your morn’s hopes With the day elopes Aspirations sink, Your rosiest thought Turns to naught Loses the pink. The patch of blue Without a clue Is painted gray, The spot of sunlight Goes out of sight Before you make hay. Sudden are the slips Words from your lips You don’t mean to, You pick up a row Turn a friend foe Little you can do.
