If It Isn't Broken...

New administrators,
Often shooting in the dark,
Think (quite falsely) they must shake things up
So they can make their mark.

Thus they challenge well-run programs,
Up the ante, change the rules
And when bedlam follows, sure enough,
They look, to us, like fools.

In the meantime, though, we suffer,
For their efforts make things worse;
As they strut and flaunt their power,
We can only grouse or curse.

Sometimes justice will prevail
And their ideas will all be nixed,
Proving if it isn’t broken,
There’s no need to get it fixed.
