Plan B

Accidental Poet

A well thought out plan

Of purposeful design

Determined to succeed

With no room to resign

 

Step by step

The plan comes together

Pieces all falling into place

Flocking like birds of a feather

 

A checklist verified

One by one

Checked and re-checked

Until it’s done

 

The plan all ready

As ready as can be

Till the poop hits the fan

And then a scramble for Plan B

    Ah - those clever last lines had me smiling my friend - plans indeed do go awry sometimes. Good read.

    • Accidental Poet

      Yes Fay, the last lines can be lots of fun. Glad you enjoyed it. ; )

      It often happens in life, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and then the roof caves in. Good write.

      • Accidental Poet

        Thanks Goldfinch, just gotta get to the light at the end of the tunnel before the roof caves in. ; )

        Don't have a fan then - the electric sort! But you have plenty of fans - the people sort! hehe.

            AP, I actually did lol when I came to the end of your poem. It is so true, and I just have to make this a favorite!

            Hey, did anybody see that note? The one that says 'Plan B'?

            • Accidental Poet

              Thanks Fred, glad I got you to laugh, and thank you for making this a favorite.

              I thought I saw the note on the bulletin board. Or was it the wall in the bathroom? ; )

                Ah yes that cunningly contrived second plan.... but will they let you get away with it...... everything else has been perfection.... plan b is plan b for a reason..... is it safe?
                You could always dig a tunnel instead you know.

                • Accidental Poet

                  But then you'd need a Plan C for the Plan B. ; )

                • poetboy123
