I don't know how many people have this experience but I know the essence of it happens at least once in every life. This is the experience where you thought you had a good plan and then everything went south, as they say. You are left holding a smelly damn bag and there is nothing for it but to cut and run or face really rotten music.
That's the basic plot of a whole bunch of stories and movies for a very good reason.
Looked Better
In The Planning
I'm on the river
with you in the other boat,
me in the canoe
we kept at the barn.
Not too sure what will come next
from up the far bend
but certain it's no
good news for us on this day.
Should not have robbed no
Goddamned bank and should
have planned more better
the getaway, like
using the river's worse than
stealing a damn train.
Think about that, Bro.
The train goes one of two ways,
but we can go just
one - down the river.
Their blood hounds won't let us hide,
not anywhere near.

Up shit creek
With no paddle
