I owe my tone to the company door
Even with the reorg scattering
us into new and fancier-labeled
departments, utter and bitter
agreement as to Jorge and
Stretta’s Last Presentation.
DISASTER WRIT HUGE!
So much so, that the parodies
began immediately, fresh and
surprising talent arising from the
new setup.
Oh well! Whatever happens,
present-past-future, we do
satire best!
THEN word filtered through that
Client had loved it!
“GENIUS!” put he to embattled
couple.
Ever see ponderous structure
move fast?
Clifford Ackersly, slated to receive
Elizabeth Skerrit Drenzel Award…
for doing his introverted harm
in a too-long career...deleted.
Jorge and Stretta shoved in.
At the banquet, sing a pro-corporation
song of their own composition!
Nary a dry eye!
Wags say sentimentality holds us
together!--I say what better?

Attempting To Demonstrate Potential
Ad Show
-Technically Brilliant...
-Ah hah!
-and throughly stupid!
-Our Presentation! Cue Chorus of Angels!
-Opens with Alpine...
-where we see the mountain goat leaping
from precipice to precipice...
-and back again to piss!
-How many screens to terminally behold?
-I lost count.
-And the potential client bought it?
-Hook, line, and stinker!
-Does it close with the Product?
-Amen amen I say to you, as something
verily to be adored!
-All essentially dishonest!
-Now hold on there, podner! I didn’t say
it was THAT good!

The Limits of Sensitivity
Representative Rant
“Never again hire me another of these thoughtful and sensitive
individuals!
You’re in a meeting with the client and he’s spoiling for
a fight! Then these people pause more than talk when they’re
talking, getting him more and more pissed off!
Give me spouters! And I don’t give a shit what they say.
What if it’s nonsense? I can straighten that out with
The Enchilada later. At least he doesn’t get the chance to
drive his forklift into SENSITIVITY! Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle!
It’s business! Not touchy-feely at freakin Amherst!”
