Tom Quigley Poet Sonnet

National No-Foul-Up Day

Check the calendar, it’s that special day!
Whether it’s sunny, raining, or hailing.
And none of that scat matters anyway,
Because today's not the day for failing!

Rejoice! It’s National No-Foul-Up Day!
No, it's just not a good day to blow it.
At your job, you shouldn’t suck anyway,
And there's just no better way to show it!

For today, you're working with human beings
Every darn bit as important as you.
Getting it right is the one single thing
To be sure that you definitely do!

Not today! You too can be a hero!
No foul-ups! Didn’t you get the memo?!?
