Yep, we outsourced Estimation in the 90s & the Oughts
to Samoa , or so we thought,
but when the phone records
came back Albania ,
well, that scandal kicked the calories
outta Middle Management & we brought that job home
I mean, one job, I know it ain’t much, but I’m proud to say
by now, these Delays are 100 percent American-made &
100 percent American Estimated & 100 percent American
Middle Managed & 100 percent American fulfilled—that is
when the Delayed equipment, person, or sum actually arrives
(I was sent to Theory Courses at the Extension Campus &
ever since I’ve adopted the motto: Keeping It Real Time!)
Oh yes ma’am you can expect a delay of 10 to 15 minutes
our latest information suggests a delay of 20 to 25 minutes
see? I just love helping a Fellow Citizen to be Delayed!
