This Is Drivel

The Plan

In the beginning was the plan,

And the plan was without form,

And darkness was upon the face of the workers,

And they spoke among themselves, saying:

“It’s a crock of shit and it stinks.”

And the foremen went unto the supervisors, saying:

“It’s a load of crap that smells so none may abide it.”

And the supervisors went unto the managers, saying:

“It’s a vessel of manure that smells strongly to all around it.”

And the managers went unto the director, saying:

“It’s a container of fertilizer so strong that all are overpowered by it.”

And the director spake unto the president, saying:

“The new plan contains much that is fertile and is full of power.”

And the president saw that the plan was good.

“Some people have a way with words, and some people ... oh ... not have way, I guess.”
