The Last Revision

	The draftsman and the engineer
	are men of skill and vision.
	At least they are until they hear
	that hated word "revision".

	The engineer, with practiced eye,
	surveys his grand design.
	The draftsman then expertly draws
	each complicated line.

	Complete, they sigh contentedly,
	miraculous precision.
	Oh optimists, tomorrow brings
	catstrophe...revision.

	Revision one adds this new piece.
	Revision two improves it.
	Revision three makes it just right.
	Then number four removes it.

	You can't do this, you can't do that.
	We'll wait for a decision.
	But, in the mean time, just revise
	that last revised revision.

	Revise...revise...the very word
	fills engineers with dread.
	Though die they must, they'll be revised
	to make damned sure they're dead.

	We hope that God's no engineer
	when He makes His decision.
	If once we win our wings we hope
	there'll be no last revision.
