Placing labels on cans

Thumbing through the makeshift ledger
Harry announces that:
"Of the 102 deliveries in the past 365 days
only 37% of them were in the allotted time window."

We will continue, I assume, until day break.

I hold the cans steady
as Harry puts the labels on.

"Starting up a new business is always like this."
We called it "Placing labels on cans" and logged it as such.

Chuckling like we used to, we smooth out the bubble
and judder the precious contents.
