Poetry Thursday 61 - Consequences

 Our current age could be described in Yorkshire, England as 'slack set up'. We no longer seem to allow disappointment at sub-optimal performance. As individuals, it is also okay to have some pride in the successful completion of even the most basic tasks. 



Consequences

 

A man failed to complete a task,

a job within his skillset,

his group have to do more than asked,

without a display of upset.

 

Another man failed to complete a task,

a job within his skillset,

his group have to do even more than asked,

without a display of upset.

 

At last a man completed the activity,

within his skillset but suffering injury,

the job is completed rather sketchily,

one of the group suffering accidentally,

because others failed to perform adequately.
