and the poet is asked to read a poem
to read a poem at work
at work how absurd
politics abound
what would be the sound?
how
how absurd
work so full of political correctness
and a new Chief Officer Mike Nolet with us
and employees maybe quite suspicious
to see how, i am quite capricious
so before I begin
and with all this in mind
I must not dismiss the audience
that did NOT ask for this
so some rules for this you must know
this piece will not be full of woe
no girls will be thrown
no boys will be owned
and talk of death will be postponed.
this poem will be
dress code appropriate
and suitable for any Bill Gosling Associate
there is no other deal to negotiate.
May I please put you on hold while I prepare for this Poem?
***
you see there are things in side of me that scream to be free
and words I use, they do the work for me,
using words freely to scream for me is all I really know how to be.
words on paper
words in the air
words that will stand-up flat hair.
however today G-Rated, words ,....... will be only the ones I share.
you see,
there are rhymes
that stand the test of time
that can change lives
that are said to wives
and of course are used to hide lies
I spit this piece in hopes to entertain
words i will not explain
and possibly they may be a little insane
but I promise you,
I will not speak in quatrains
and hopefully you still will think
this piece of work is off the chain.
If I have met you in training
I spoke of security rule following
and art perusing
I've told you poetry is my art, although it never rhymes
and I won't remember your name that is what I say all the time.
I am the one and only self titled "Equal opportunity Ignorer"
I sit in my corner
right next to that foreigner
Sometimes just being a reporter
but really I am an explorer
you see, I see patterns
and patterns tell me stories
and stories show me the caverns
holes in the patterns
and a broken pattern is more than a non-conformity
to me it could be a matter of a lost opportunity
Technology is just a hobby
don't exactly know why,
but computers,... they do respond to me.
to me
to me,
to me people and growth really motivate, without you i am like the dead sea
your moods and emotions I see
and a few of you, i know will agree.
and you should know when your emotions weigh heavy
for you i will stay steady
and when your focus goes astray
I will say
"please don't make me be a manager"
songs on the radio are but 3 minutes long,
I wonder how long this piece will go on
Writing words for rhyme sake like they do on the radio all the time,
and when they fall short they just repeat the line
repeat the line
repeat the line
repeat the line
repeat the line
repeat the line
repeat the line, to make it rhyme for rhymes sake
is not my normal take
and I feel such a fake
but the challenge was so great
i could not say no and forsake.
hopefully this little break
has been like inspirational cake
not a as traumatic as an earth quake
but chillin like a breakfast with a pancake
to partake in a kick off is great
soon I'll have to put on the parking break
but before I go there is one more thing I wanna to try,
and
thanks to the night crew for the giving me their clues
to a crazy comedy of chocolate and
fast cheetah prints on cupcakes
cupcake frosting made of cream cheese
to congratulate the teams
basketball considered, but the thought conveyed is
team,
team a contingent of caring crowds, cheetahs are cats and cats don't care,
cats just congregate
team cant have a crowd of one, consider that constraint
team is like a club, that can confide in
can commiserate with
can be in-corruptible,
can give you confidence
candor, without corruption
team does not have "I", it has we and us,
but the dark side in team is "them"
"them" can be constructive when it is a friendly competition
but
caution to the contender that considers casualties-at-all-costs , cool and commendable.
Team cohorts that continue communicating that sort of cancer, create a condition so egregious that I Must stop the alliteration here.
Team does not have "I" but it should have Integrity.
We come from different place to get here, and once here we do different tasks, but we are a team.
We are the Bill Gosling Outsourcing team.
I must close the poem here, but have two more questions I must ask
Do you have any questions?
Is there anything else I can help you with?
