it not working

try what you will
splutter and bluster and spin and think
about winning and dream and say it outloud

but when its still solid at the end
and youve all but sold the load down the road
dont expect it to have worked because
for one, you expected it to work.

Why would you ever expect it to work?

its like asking why that one old man was pushing
a big rock up the hill
and then a big eagle ate his liver.
he should have pushed the rock on the eagle and ate his own
liver!
