Then what to my wondering eyes should appear, but an OSHA inspector... with a cob up his rear!
So I gathered myself - put on my best smile, I tucked in my shirt and rehearsed my denial.
More rapid then eagles I flew to the spot, where the OSHA man stood there starin' down at ol' Scott.
"No HARNESS, no RAILING, no GOGGLES", he cried and I knew in a moment my profit was fried.
But he didn't stop there - the whole site he did scurry, scowling and prowling - scribbling notes in a flurry.
I followed behind, my stomach all twisted, "THESE ELECTRICAL CORDS SHOULD BE TAGGED!" he insisted;
His eyes how they twinkled, n'er an inch did he touch, and it was clear that this fellow liked his job waaaaaay too much;
But finish he did - albeit four hours later - but suffice it to say it was quite a deflator.
But the worst now seemed done and as my fate I did scoff, "OH... [THAT DOES IT!! I QUIT!!! - Bill SPIT!! AN INSPECTOR!! ONE WE HAVEN'T PAID OFF!!"
He was dressed all in flannel from his head to his shoes; he was angry and bitter and had a short fuse.
He flagged and he tagged - slapped "Stop Work" signs all over, and as orneriness goes, he was rollin' in clover.
He spoke not a word - through the church he did dash, I lagged right behind... tossed the signs in the trash.
But now my owner is nervous
I need something to soothe him
So without pause or remorse, I say
"NO PROBLEM, MOVE IN!!"
