THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE

For Otto von Bismarck said so:

One has no rules
is not precise
One rarely acts
yhe same way twice
One spurns no device
practicing the art of the possible 

One always picks
the easy fight
One praises fools
one smothers light
one shifts left to right
It's part of the art of the possible 

One always claims
mistakes were planned
When risk is slight
one takes one's stand
with much sleight of hand
Politics--the art of the possible 

One has no rules
is not precise
One rarely acts 
the same way twice
One spurns no device
Politics--the art of the possible
