Chaos In The C-Suite
This organization must turn around
before we’re summarily run aground
the CEO, the top of the heap
the steward over all aspects
of our once thriving business
is now become our Chief of Excess
Our day-to day operations head
is by impetuousness misled
now considered Chief of Obfuscation
sugarcoating our true corporate condition
blinding the other executives from seeing
our actual, abysmal state of well being
And they who, ostensibly,
maintain our fiscal solvency
are now ordained Chief of Fun
cavalierly spending our money
on things that benefit only one
our perpetually peterpanish,
now somewhat older manish CEO
who naps in the corner office
and if called answers “I don’t want to know.”

This may or may not be autobiographical 😁 Let's just say there's not a kernal but a whole crop of implied truth in this piece. I'm quite a catch 🤠

Dear GW,
You are a catch. Even amidst the chaos in C-Suite. This piece has me wondering how anything in this world gets accomplished? I’d wager if this gem of a write represents your place of business there are many more that operate similarly. I thoroughly enjoyed the humorous spin on this and trying to survive it. Terrific write. H🌷

Dear, Honoria
I reckon you're a much better catch🌹 Thank you for your beautiful comment. I am glad you found humor in the piece. I was referring to an occasional inabilty to control one's own executive functions. Although, I have worked for some companies with poor executive function too😁
