Out of Order
If you’re an avid planner—an agenda sort of man,
life seems to have a fondness for screwing up your plan.
Ideology is fine so long as you take note
that fate seems to have other schemes than life lived out by rote.
Providence is naughty. It thinks irony is divine.
It likes to move our decimal points, nudge columns out of line.
It screws around with calendars, plays jokes with weather, too.
It messes up your Windsor knot, conceals one favorite shoe.
It messes up collections and puts them out of sequence.
confuses medication in its timing and its frequence.
So if life changes the rules after you think you’ve won,
learn what it seeks to teach you: spontaneity is fun!
Prompt words today were collection, avid, ideology and plan.

Enjoyed your little verse and really like that picture!
Yes, spontaneity is fun and flexibility is a great stress reliever. However, I do regret having followed too many spontaneous impulses through the years. Now I have a number of “started with zeal, abandoned when the zip ran dry” projects; I have to buckle down now and finish them. 🙂

But look at how much fun you’ll have finishing them. If not, just hand them on to someone else who will.

You could stitch that on a sampler.
My mother used to put it another way: “We plan, God laughs.”

I so agree. Ideology takes you only so far, then life takes over and boom, hahahaha
