The Other Shoe

Hurricanes can happen;

Flights can get delayed.

You can never really count

On plans you might have made.

 

Viruses can catch you;

Traffic bog you down.

Roads may close when politicians

Travel to your town.

 

Never think disaster

Is a thing you can avoid,

Though to worry ‘bout it constantly

Would make you paranoid.

 

Still, when life is going smoothly

And you feel like you’re on top,

It’s realistic to expect that soon

The other shoe will drop.
