[Intro]

Request the item, state the need.
Select the class and cost-code feed.
Attach the scope, declare the use.
No empty field, and no excuse.

Three clean quotes in matching form—
That is how we stop the storm.

[Verse]

Oliver Grant at half past eight
Lined the folders, sealed the gate.
Blue for software, red for rent,
White for capital expenditure spent.

"No purchase starts with haste or fear.
The proper route is printed here.
First comes demand, then market check,
Then sourcing signs the final spec."

[Pre-Chorus]

A rule ignored becomes a leak.
A missing form makes systems weak.
No card is swiped, no order made
Until the proper trail is laid.

[Chorus]

Follow the procurement procedure,
Every box and every feature.
Three clean quotations, dated, signed—
Every vendor verified.
Nothing enters through our door
Until we know what we paid for.

[Verse]

Mara passed with coffee cold,
A warning light began to hold.
The bearing scraped, the fan ran slow—
A fault the dashboard would not show.

"Oliver, I need a part, not talk."
He answered calm, "Then log the fault.
Urgency is not a route—
The policy leaves urgency out."

[Chorus]

Follow the procurement procedure,
Every box and every feature.
Three clean quotations, dated, signed—
Every vendor verified.
Nothing enters through our door
Until we know what we paid for.

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

The server fans behind the wall
Sent out their thin metallic call.
The red line climbed a notch too high—
Oliver stamped his last reply.

[Build-up]

Need defines the spec; cost, the reason why.
Risk needs proof; urgency gets no reply.
Three short strikes beneath the floor—
One more degree above before.

[Final Chorus]

Follow the procurement procedure—
Even pressure cannot lure
Any buyer past the gate
Where compliance validates.

That is policy, that is culture.
The cooling motor scraped once more.

[Outro]

Request the item. State the need.
Select the class and wait to proceed.

The thermometer moved again.
