HOW NOT TO BUY A HERO 1
By Ron Kushnier
I am an Engineer, by trade.
I have my Double-E.
And When I saw the Hero-1,
I knew it was for me.
I gave the order to my boss
And explained the application,
He very quickly signed the thing
With the wildest jubilation.
The order went to Purchasing
And was no sooner in the door,
When panic struck
the buyer screamed,
"No one bought a Hero-1 before".
The order came back down to me
With a simple "DISAPPROVED"
My dreams were smashed
My hopes were dashed
My plans had been removed.
Now I could understand this
If a Shoeshine Boy I'd be
But I'm supposed to be
An Engineer
And work in R&D.
