Who are they kidding, The Best Laid Plans
of Mice and Men? Mice do what they do
instinctively every day. They never let plans
get in their way.
Now, men I can see. Men the fools that we
happen to be, always got to figure out a way.
Fail or succeed, you gotta have a plan…
The birthday party, an anniversary, the game
of the week, a better job, the new apartment
or house, hell, a bouquet of flowers and a box
of chocolates, a pack of cigarettes and beef
jerky from the 711 before the road trip.
Every man needs, for Christ’s sake, demands
a plan. Mice keep their existence simple as
can be—stay out of the light, eat, procreate,
and avoid cheese in places cheese shouldn’t
be.
Oh, sure, mice can’t always resist a good
meal even if it is a trap. Men fall into traps
all the time, planned for or not.
You fool! You should have bought her a ring
instead of flowers and chocolate. Case closed.
