poem of the day January 19


Many think
Steinbeck
was thinking
of the poem
by Robert Burns
when he wrote
Of Mice and Men
But I just
heard from
a bunch of
well placed
rodents that
the real 
inspiration
actually
came from
this famous but
lost saying
‘The best
laid plans
of women
and squirrels
often go
acorn’
