One of my readers shared this limerick. It was written by an experienced hand working on a recovery project, so I think many of you will relate quite well.
Post Disaster Indecision
Drowning in data and indecision,
endless calls and plan revisions.
Frustrating for sure,
and there is no cure,
at least that I can now envision.

Although the author of the above chose to be anonymous, he did encourage the Diva to try a limerick. The Diva is a recovering limerick writer, but she just had a relapse!
Musings from the Recovery Diva
There once was a diva named Claire
who thought recovery a topic in disrepair.
She boldly set forth on the web
to deal with the topic many dread.
So, don’t despair but seek to repair!
Feel free to offer your own limerick, if you are so inclined!

That is a good one. Thanks, Tom
I cited Stephen Crane on the final page of my book, Emergency Management and Tactical Response Operations: Bridging the Gap, (2008, p. 210).
A man said to the universe:
“Sir, I exist!”
“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.”
I’ve always enjoyed my students who used a liberal arts approach to their studies in emergency management.
Best regards,
Dr. Tom
