CUTTING CORNERS

What of pride and presentation When time is short in duration? An octagon out of a square... Proverbial scissors used there. It is what it is - this, I hear Constantly in and out each ear. A triangle meets hexagon In repetition, on and on. Input dried of saturation... Effort tried, no compensation. Ongoing instances of these Bring situations to their knees. When unavailability Of resources persists to be, Circumstances are made humble... Everything begins to crumble. One example - making a cake. Unsuccessful within its bake When ingredients are lacking... Outcome evident of slacking. If its method is not followed Proper, it is harder swallowed. When void of cooking essential, Cake does not reach its potential. Take another scenario... The teamwork of employment so. When two workers turn into one, Managed quality is undone. In regards to minor detail, Its freshness gradually turns stale... Pending failure when correction Is established of inspection. Conclusions do not come with ease... What once was, no longer a breeze. Corner cutting in all respect Leads to certain snowball effect. Such distressing leads to stressing... This, is it worth second guessing? Band-aids sometimes necessary, But should just be temporary.
