Happily retired – this is why:
My senior had a grand plan.
He’d thought this through in great detail;
To effect it I was the man.
I made the effort to explain
Difficulties he could not see:
I don’t think a way could be found -
But this was my deficiency.
Yet here, as part of our culture,
Old advice which is very sound -
Wisdom well known: ‘Easier said than done’
Now = to no more foolish plans am I bound.
