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.
