Version 1
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my tooling manager gave to me:
Twelve slides a-gliding,
Eleven ejector pins,
Ten core pulls sliding,
Nine CMMs scanning
Eight polishing stones,
Seven cutting tools,
Six cooling systems,
Five steel blocks!
Four hot runners,
Three EDM electrodes,
Two precision cavities,
And a flawless mold running all day?
Version 2
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my tooling manager gave to me:
Twelve engineers panicking,
Eleven tools misaligned,
Ten sensors failing,
Nine cavities cracking,
Eight ejectors jamming,
Seven screws stripped out,
Six lifters sticking,
Five missing pins!
Four hot-runner leaks,
Three “urgent” changes,
Two rusty coolant lines,
And a mold that’s finally flashing-free!
Version 3
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my tooling manager gave to me:
Twelve tools a-polishing,
Eleven robots moving,
Ten heaters heating,
Nine runners flowing,
Eight slides a-gliding,
Seven ejectors popping,
Six sensors syncing,
Five golden gates!
Four cores aligning,
Three flawless cycles,
Two spotless cavities,
And a mold that’s running perfectly!
