Corporate life is sometimes hard sometimes easy - sometimes fraught with danger and sometimes a laugh a minute... Here are some poems and illustrations inspired by corporate life... *15 Minute Break * They were once out in the passageway Now they're out on the street In all kinds of weather Enduring cold and heat It's like they have run away But didn't get far They need to be here For the semblance Of a conference For the gossip and the news Discuss the day's strategy And sometimes new shoes But mostly they're here (and the truth really sticks) Because they are slaves to Their nicotine fix.
