Whatever You Do

Whatever you do it should be done
With all the zeal and fervour of one,
Who never agrees if someone asks,
To undertake any major tasks
Unless they feel that they can bring
Enthusiasm to everything
The task entails and they believe
It's something that they can achieve.
When asked so many just agree,
And then they find they're all at sea;
When faced with what they've said they'd do
And realise they have not a clue,
And very often then proceed
To just ignore what they've agreed.
Or else they feel they are exempt
From more than just a vague attempt,
And if that fails they just move on
And hopes they'll do the job are gone.
It's better that one not say "yes"
Before being able to assess
Whether one has the time and zeal
And knowledge one will need to deal
With all the project that's in mind,
So that everyone will find
It's done, and also with as well
Enthusiasm none can quell.
