Between Cup And Lip

"There are many a slip between cup and lip;"

between conventions and partisans,extensions and open spans,

dissensions and adept fans, retentions and camera pans,

dimensions and castle sands, expansions and sacred lands,

affections and holding hands, intentions and well laid plans,

rejections and countermands, abstentions and taking stands,

convictions and firm demands, directions and bold commands,

attentions and marching bands, contentions and famous brands,

suspensions and harsh remands and pretensions and fake grandstands.

"There are many a slip between cup and lip."
