Nil bastardo carborundum

February 15, 2022February 14, 2022 Ian HunterLeave a comment

Sometimes things do not go as planned

The unexpected turns up

Or somebody lets you down

Its OK to be annoyed

But not for long

You have to move on

Find a way to fix it

Before it consumes you

Nil bastardo carborundum

That is urban Latin

Look it up
