Dr. Seuss Essay on Auditing Updated
Continuing my tradition of posting holiday disclaimers or what-not, here’s the intro of a funny take on Dr. Seuss by Lawrence Heim of Elm Sustainability Partners:
Oh, the jobs people work at!
Out west near Hawtch-Hawtch there’s a Hawtch-Hawtcher Bee-Watcher. His job is to watch… is to keep both his eyes on the lazy town bee. A bee that is watched will work harder, you see.
Well… he watched and he watched. But, in spite of his watch, that bee didn’t work any harder. Not mawtch.
So then somebody said, “Our old bee-watching man just isn’t bee-watching as hard as he can. He ought to be watched by another Hawtch-Hawtcher! The thing that we need is a Bee-Watcher-Watcher!”
Well…
The Bee-Watcher-Watcher watched the Bee-Watcher. He didn’t watch well. So another Hawtch-Hawtcher had to come in as a Watch-Watcher-Watcher!
And today all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch are watching on Watch-Watcher-Watchering-Watch, Watch-Watching the Watcher who’s watching that bee.
You’re not a Hawtch-Watcher. You’re lucky, you see!”
