Ode: The Purpose of Procedures

The purpose of procedures is to tighten tricky techniques
In the process that pertains to particular performance
Of the policies proclaimed by the management mandates
That are promulgated partly by the bureaucrats because
The guidelines are forgotten by the lazy and the lousy
Ones who leave us in the lurch picking up the broken pieces.
So when you are feeling funky with particular procedures
Just remember there's a member of your team
To whom there's meaning.
Meaning just because they're screwy
You're the one who's stuck with hooey. Fooey!
Paying for their piper with your policy-pricked life or
Sitting sifting sheaves of policy procedured papers
What a way to spend a day as a normal 9-to-5er.
