Hey Sarah, Where's My Tri-Walls?

I had to go through the proper channels Don't smoke so I wouldn't walk a mile for a camel I was only ordering essentials I was told by Ms. Liley, I don't have the credentials I wanted to talk to our finance lady in person, not a phone call So I asked her, hey Sarah, where's my tri-walls I thought being a tech I could order direct Ms. Liley told Sarah she was using money from a project If I don't get what I need soon, shipping will begin to stall Hey sarah, where's my tri-walls What about the table scale I requested multiple times Miss Liley's explaination leaves little reason or rhyme She said there are enough scales at the facility that can be used I've had to walk back to our big scale so much, I wore the soles off my steel toed shoes This whole budget crisis is out of my control, I need brain electrolysis So I scratched the table scale off my wish list Some items I have begged for so many times I can't recall I will settle for Sarah recovering my order of tri-walls

Dealing with vendors can be horrific, Eutene. Especially now, when workers are trying so hard to keep their businesses afloat. Loved the poem, particularly your reference to "brain electrolysis" which had me laughing out loud. Great work!
