The 12 minute man didn’t believe in excess.

He’d be on the job for just 12 minutes,

No more, and no less.

He prided himself on

The accuracy of his input,

 Which was his biggest test.

While the expectation of his output, 

Seemed his only stress.

He was in.

He was out.

He was in. 

He was out.

His service was impeccable,

That went without doubt.

Satisfied customers were almost irrepressible.

His Trustpilot score suggested,

He was highly recommendable.

There was never any fuss. 

There was never any mess.

Some of his reviews,

Simply said 

he was “The best of the best.”

Well one fine day,

Completely out of the blue;

She uttered the words that would cut him in two….

His no 1 customer said,

“I want to chop it in half, We can cut it to six”,

“My Time and my motion will no longer stand 

For your 12 minute mix!”

Well he stood there perplexed;

Considered the options, 

tried not to be vexed.

Feigning concern, he was left somewhat bereft….

Did he need more grease on his piston?

Should he pre lube the seals?

He’d have to double his motion,

Reduce friction on his wheels.

So He made a few changes,

To stand up to her test.

Tweaked all he could,

Put his foot down 

and gave it his best.

Practise made perfect,

He was certain To that she would attest.

Well the reviews were astounding.

Customers they did abound.

Some simply came running 

While others formed queues that circled the town.

He now had double the output

And it took half the time.

While he felt his input had trebled, 

She simply smiled and said “Fine”…

Some years they have passed,

since time and motion day;

And while the sunshine’s

 he still likes to make hay.

He leaves his customers speechless,

some people do say….

Well Certainly most 

have no reason to frown.

The 12 minute man is no longer your host

The newly improved six minute fella has taken his crown!
