Special Sauce (21/36)
Vonnets in an Airport Lounge
My early career started to flourish.
In one factory I shut down some kit.
A crew repiped the flow in a dervish.
Production soared! Not what you’d intuit.
Next rust bucket and nothing was clearer,
“Make a profit or license is repealed.”
Found old drawing when held to a mirror
Unlocked recipe that increased its yield.
But did I then really appreciate
success was not all from my back breaking?
Because her running our home was innate,
the special sauce of our money making.
While not starting out a complete zero,
my loving wife forged bread-winning hero.
