Everything's according to plan
Title
Everything's according to plan
Description
"Poet: Yefimovsky, Y. “The Fighting Pencil” group
The boss was curt and unrefined.
—Finish the bridge by the deadline.
—The crane is down? Not enough men?
Out of concrete? Let’s change the plan.
Then, finally, on the set date
A crowd came to celebrate.
The bridge is new and wide and …shoot!
It’s not made of concrete but… wood!
When plans are changed in such a way
That all the work goes down the drain,
The culprits who cause plans to crash
Are bound to go down with a splash! "
