The loving embrace
of a couple, mixed race
caused such anxiety
about impropriety
… and they’re only at first base!

Politics, sex and religion are topics that frequently inspire passionate, ill-considered responses. Perhaps it’s because identities are so closely tied to them.

The question is how can you use this pattern for financial gain?

The once was a man named Bryant
who was quite the corporate giant
he had a fear mice
which wasn’t very nice
but it sure made him a great client!

You’d be hardpressed to find a situation, no matter how dire, in which nobody might have benefited in some way. The corollary to this is of course that there is an opportunity in every situation.

There was once a gent who waited
for every lady he dated
until a clever girlie
showed his watch was early
and made him quite elated!

Sometimes figuring out the pattern of why something recurs can lead to solving some significant problems.

If only you knew
What she had in view
You’d be tickled pink
And inclined to wink
Well… until you see it’s photo of you!

Funny how things are often so much funnier when you’re not the butt of the joke.

When John realised his time was up
He bowed his head and raised his cup
“Screw you,” he said
Despite all prepared
For he wanted to be remembered as a cocky pup!

Not everyone has the privilege of realising that they have limited time left in this life. If you are one of those few, preparing an exit speech might be a worthwhile exercise.

Last year a professor named Hess
invented an ironing press
“How does it work?”
asked a girl with a smirk
He smiled and said “take off yer dress!”

Sometimes in life, it is worth considering that the customer isn’t quite who you expect it to be.

“What do you think?”
Said a man to his shrink
To which he replied
To nobody’s surprise
“What do YOU think?”

It shouldn’t take a decade in medical school to realise where the most valuable answers lie.

A man obsessed with innovation
to the point of desperation
could one day finally see
he needed less technology
and more customer fixation

When technological innovation delivers an ultimate usefulness in the hands of a customer, that is when real value is created. The brilliance in the technology itself rarely inspires awe, or is even understood, by a few. What the technology can be used for however, is generally what is acknowledged as brilliant by the public.

There once was a banker named Anne
who jetted from Bhutan to Japan
until her biological clock
went oh dear, tick tock
so she found herself a man

Can you trust that the universe will provide what you need, when you finally realise you have that need?

There once was a Chinese abbot
who had an annoying habit
he constantly asked
who you had sex with last,
in his past life he was a rabbit!

While there may be some satisfaction in understanding or knowing what happened before, it is often more valuable to focus on what you want going forward.
