somehow

“‘Somehow’ is a weasel word; it means the author didn’t want to bother thinking out the story… When I teach science fiction and fantasy writing I ban the word. Nothing can happen ‘somehow,’” Ursula K. Le Guin, Steering the Craft

“Someday soon we all will be together

If the fates allow

Until then we’ll have tomorrows through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas
