The Plan
Out of the blue came a wayward soul.
Who had in life no discernable goal,
His purpose unknown, he had no plan,
He didn't even have a frying pan,
Out of the blue came a wayward girl,
She had no plans at all to unfurl,
She met our hero the wayward soul,
And together they created a goal.
They decided to make a family,
It is easy to do and made them see,
That children mean fun and very much work,
Their plan was not to shirk.
So if ever Boy and Girl make plan,
It is nothing new to the way of man,
It keeps folks on population charts,
And their love grows in their hearts.
