Thinking Flow

Every day, on workstation I sit in the muck.
and wonder who pays for all this rework?

Who’s the real customer, who?
Not my boss for – he doesn’t pay for the ‘goo’.

What’s needed is a way, like water from a tap – an instant flow,
so that parts and paperwork never lie idle – always on the go.

Why create all so much extra bits, it makes me sick,
for who want’s last week’s milk?

If only the system made individual parts when required,
rather like a restaurant – for what’s the point of a frozen dinner?

Life’s not perfect – neither is the work we do
but that shouldn’t influence us in wanting to improve.
