Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda

All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' 'bout the things
They woulda coulda shoulda done . . .
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little Did.

~ Shel Silverstein (1932-1999), American poet and songwriter

  1. So true. This one really tells it all. I speak from my own experience. Being involved in different community service projects I find myself dealing with these kinds of people time after time. The Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas. But, they all ran away and hid From one little Did.
