The Little Phrase 'Ifs And Buts' Poem by Joyce Hemsley

The Little Phrase 'Ifs And Buts'



'IF' is only a little word - 'BUT'
without it, life could be absurd.
Final decisions should never be made
until 'IF' has been used over again.

Responsible people know this too well...
one road could lead to heaven,
one road could lead to hell.
So before taking that final step
consider the 'IFS and BUTS' in depth.
'IF' we take the road northward
we may drown in the sea - 'BUT'
take the road southward and
there's a chance we could be
on a beautiful island, like the
Isle of Capri.

So, 'IF' you do this, or
'IF' you do that...always consider
each available fact, and you will be
under no illusion, arriving at the
correct conclusion.
