BEST LAID PLAN

DIDDIT DIT N’ DOO

SHE WROTE IT DOWN ON A LEGAL PAD

THEN SHE TOOK A SECOND LOOK, IT DINT LOOK BAD

CROSSED EVERY “T”, AND ALL THOSE “I”S

TO CUT DOWN ON A CHANCE OF SOME SURPRISE

THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS

THAT CAN TRUMP AN UPPER HAND

OF A BEST LAID PLAN

CONTINGENCIES IDENTIFIED

WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE GOT ‘EM ALL,

THEY MULTIPLIED

LIKE SOME DOG, WITHOUT WARNING

CHEWED UP ALL HER HOMEWORK BY THE MORNING

ONE TRICKY LITTLE DETAIL

KICKIN UP A LOT OF SAND

ON A BEST LAID PLAN

A PERFECT SET OF BLUEPRINTS

GONNA MAKE IT WORK OUT RIGHT

BUT THEN HERE COME THE WRINKLES

WHEN SHE LAID IT ON THE LINE

MONKEY WRENCHES GOT THEIR NAME

BY DOING WHAT THEY DO

SIT AROUND UNTIL THERE COMES A TIME TO

DROP THE OTHER SHOE

SHE WROTE IT DOWN ON A LEGAL PAD

BUT IN SPITE OF ALL INTENTION THAT SHE HAD

ONE TRICKY LITTLE DETAIL

KICKIN UP A LOT OF SAND

WELL, IT SURE LOOKED GOOD ON PAPER

BEFORE SHE THREW IT IN THE CAN

THE BEST LAID PLAN
