PLANS GONE AWRY

Society demands
Plans

Plan every detail of your life
At what age to buy a house, take a wife

How to push your budding career
Where and when to vacation next year

How much money you need to retire
How many children you wish to sire

What time you'll go to sleep tonight
What you'll wear tomorrow, black or white

What to eat for dinner next week
What you'll say when you get up to speak

Knowing ahead what will make you nervous
Who will be invited to your funeral service

If Mom had known what I would be
She might've never have had me

When spur of the moment spontaneity dies
So does the wonder of a child's surprise

Life is rife with tomorrow's unknowns
It is there that all our dreams are sown

So there's one good planning I would guess
That's planning planning to plan less
