Analysis of The Guru Of The Wash
Author's note: In an Electronics plant where a circuit board production line is in operation the inline wash is very important. The person that operates this machine insures that the boards are clean and is indispensible to the production process. This poem is about one such person.
I know a Lady at work,
Her duties she does not shirk,
She keeps the boards aslosh,
She's the Guru of the Wash.
Without her work we could not make,
Production goals for goodness sake,
She is truly what makes us posh,
She's the Guru of the Wash.
She runs the boards to and fro,
Keeping track of where they should go,
She's makes the factory go by gosh,
She's the Guru of the Wash.
She works without complaint,
To my thinking she's a Saint,
She keeps the boards aslosh,
She's the Guru of the Wash.
So the wash is very well tended,
By this Lady so well commended,
And she does her work with Panache,
She's the Guru of the Wash!
