There was a crooked man and he had a crooked house, and he really liked to grumble and to grizzle and to grouse; that crooked house – he’d planned to knock it down, demolish it, but the council said “You build it up, it’s time to finish it!”
The crooked man was in a rage, he nearly had a meltdown; “Why don’t I leave it as it is,” he thought, “until it fell down?” But while he stood as pleased as Punch and thinking he was clever, the house fell down on top of him: will it be finished? Never!
Moral: If at first you don’t succeed, give up.
