I S O, nine thousand one,
Marches with gay abandon.
Industries and services
Clamor for its auspices.

I, a doctor turned lawyer,
Was seduced by an offer
From a training company
Offering its litany.

It was a five day long course,
Not limited to discourse.
There was plenty of course work,
Enough to make one berserk.

Each day saw too many tests,
Despite the trainees’ protests.
Yet the trainer had a mind
Of very brilliant kind.

But, looking back, I now feel,
Our trainer did well reveal
The secrets of I S O,
In a professional flow.

I now know that quality
Is a sacred entity,
To be zealously guarded,
Never to be discarded

As I S O auditor,
I can now well monitor,
Whether standards are observed,
And, if guidelines are covered.
