Repairman

Once I was a waffle
Repairman and later
A special projects sort
Of coordinator, in each case
Untangling foibles and giving
A peek at the future to those in
A hurry trying to plan ahead
Wanting answers to what if,
And if they tried to plan
Around a rough patch
Too much observable.
Then I would repair
The waffle as the
Special projects
Coordinator, a
Title I cherish
As I used to
Research
Across
The
Pond
When
I was too
Young to know
Any better but clever
Enough to plead
Conscience
About
Collateral damage.
A bit of waffling
On my part
But well
Within
The
Rules
Of the
Great game.
