While I admit that I
am rather an optimist
your pessimism leaves me
with several questions.

When you said things
go south in a hurry
where do they land
and what airline do they use?

And when things go
to hell in a handbasket
of what is the basket made
and whose hand carries it to hell?

And yes, your hardly need
to tell me that this is one
great SNAFU, for if so, that’s
normal and bears no mention.
