18. The decision was the right one,
At least at the time.
He did everything right,
Cept for one little thing.
But it didnt seem important
In the big scheme of things.
After all, it was just paperwork.
It was some time later
When the auditors called.
Not just to see A,
But the project overall.
They examined the decision
They asked to know why.
Where is the evidence?
How did you decide?
A had no answer.
What could he say,
Without documentation
To put them at bay?
