Ad hockery

Today’s word is “ad hockery” ... reliance on temporary solutions rather than on consistent, long-term plans. (Dictionary.com)

Plot

Talking low in offices,

In restaurants and schoolrooms,

Ad hockery is on the rise,

Waiting for its full bloom.

And all those half-baked plans,

Thrown so very quickly in,

Will soon show themselves to be,

Uneven and quite thin.

A moment for an outline,

A blueprint or a map,

Would help cohere those few ideas,

They’d come together in a snap.
