Unfulfilled Dreams Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

The best laid plans of mice and men.
Are often foiled by circumstance.
Undaunted though we try again.
We are convinced there is a chance.

That things will change and re arrange.
So in due course will succeed.
Although I find it passing strange.
That circumstances can impede.

The plans we made so carefully.
There's nothing we can do but wait.
As best we can; impatiently.
It all depends on fickle fate.

It matters not how hard we try.
The best laid plans gang oft awry.
