Business Poetry

James Autry, a business executive, coach, and poet, is always worth a visit.

From his poem, On Firing A Salesman:

But what about the prices they pay?
What about gray evenings in the bar car
and smoke-filled clothes and hair
and children already asleep and wives who say "you stink" when they come to bed?
What about the promotions they don't get,
the good accounts they lose to some kid MBA
because somebody up there thinks their energy is gone?
