The best laid plans of mice and men. <br />Are often foiled by circumstance. <br />Undaunted though we try again. <br /> We are convinced there is a chance. <br /> <br />That things will change and re arrange. <br />So in due course will succeed. <br />Although I find it passing strange. <br />That circumstances can impede. <br /> <br />The plans we made so carefully. <br />There's nothing we can do but wait. <br />As best we can; impatiently. <br />It all depends on fickle fate. <br /> <br />It matters not how hard we try. <br />The best laid plans gang oft awry.<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unfulfilled-dreams-3/
