Not bad.

But I prefer:

There once was a man from Japan
Whose poetry never would scan.
When asked why this was
He said "It's because
I'm a freelance copyeditor paid by the word so it is in my interests to flesh work out when there is no specified word limit and since the client trusts me now then as per usual when in this position at this point in a contract I do what I usually do which is to try to get as many words into the last line as I ever so possibly can sign here thank you have an invoice."

But that doesn't rhyme.

"That wasn't in the quality plan. If you want to change the scope now we can discuss it at my usual rate."

Horse. Bar. Name? Fred.

[BrowneIssue]

Man. Bar. "Ouch!".

It's not fun when you're stuck on a project headed for oblivion. Best to bail before it all gets out of hand...

I do feel sorry for the permie project manager. We have trimmed the costs so much to keep the sponsor happy that he now stands no chance of bringing it in on budget.

By all means finish this one off:

There once was a contracting geezer.

Ah. That's sweet.

YES! I feel a contract coming on in a few months!

(There's nothing like writing out a few end-of-year tax cheques for teaching you what "mercenary" really means.)
