Mistakes named for workers
Examples:
-Almost Marlowed the entire bunch
but Grumpy came up with a fix.
-The new kid Grumpied the makeover
work, first thing I give him. But, he’s bright.
He'll catch on.
The newest foreman, Hodge, wasn't immune.
He ruined a small lot before his elevation.
And now he, even, refers to the same mistake:
-Let's everybody be careful on that big job!
I don't want any Hodging!
When Marlow died, we thought we should
desist in his case, but habit took hold and we
still kept labeling that particular screwup
after him.
Grumpy pronounced -It's his memory forever.
-A mistake? sneered Hodge.
-We're human. He stays with us this way.
The question persisted: Why did Marlow die anyhow?
Grumpy opined that he was too happy.
