bumbling achievement

we reach our goals by rougher means than guess
all gardens are alike when fruit turn ripe
what's best achieved produces the most stress

we blame all faults on surfeit and excess
and take no challenge from a guttersnipe
we reach our goals by rougher means than guess

there is no hope nor yet a hopelessness
the claims of either are just so much tripe
what's best achieved produces the most stress

don't you be waiting for the fine redress
promised by people of a certain type
we reach our goals by rougher means than guess

the choicest stuff goes to the wrong address
and to the ones of not so good a stripe
what's best achieved produces the most stress

we find out what has happened from the press
long after we thought matters had been ripe
we reach our goals by rougher means than guess
what's best achieved produces the most stress
