Poor Quality Control in the Manufacture of Days

 

This was another poor-quality day:

The leaves were good enough, as was the sun

But the temperature-control was out of whack

And the humidity was again all wrong

 

I’m calling a staff meeting in this matter

To ask why the hummingbirds left early

(I’m sure we’d all like to winter in Mexico)

And if the squirrels will report on time tomorrow

 

I’m not going Pollyanna with this report -

Work in the department has fallen short
