Good Enough

What is Well and Truly done is Good Enough,
and stranger of this Warning take ye heed:
Demand not Perfection in what is Commonplace,
lest in striving for Perfection ye Succeed.

Bravo Flag Zulu Flag


William's Whimsical Words:

Forgiveness is the antidote for the poison of perfection.
