Of Mice and Men
The poem by Robert Burns, a Scottish Poet, inspired the title for John Steinbeck Novel
The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft a-gley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promised joy!
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Often go awry (wrong)
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
Instead of promised joy
