Tea

Manage to snag George
as he comes by for his tea.

	He looks at my scheme
	of the Pylon 
	System Interface
	for all of a minute;
	says he doesn’t like it
	
	and buggers off.
	It may take days
	to get him back,
	find out why.

Catch George again
coming past with his tea.

	He glances at my board:
	Chester now want
	to forget the NRV,
	he says, and gauge 
	directly from the boss.
	
	News to me, I say.
	See what you can do
	says George
	and buggers off.

George stops by my board
and puts his tea down.

	Getting there, he says,
	looking at my new scheme
	– I think we might
	send a  print
	to Chester.

	We talk it over.
	He seems to like it:
	Okay, says George.
	and buggers off.

All I have to do is get it drawn
before George changes his mind.
