Another Approach

Posted by: on Monday, April 27, 2015

The second attempt to entertain my BNI group with haikus went over like a lead balloon. I think part of the problem with reading haikus to a roomful of people was probably because good haikus tend to be about nature and convey a sense of serenity. Based on the blank stares and horrible silence that followed my last performance, I am now painfully aware that is not what people want to hear at 7:30 in the morning.

Humor seems to work pretty well with this group so I’ve decided to try another approach. Everybody knows limericks are supposed to be funny, and just to be safe I wrote a self-deprecating punch line to see if I can get a laugh:

There once was a man from Sarasota
Who sold websites to meet his sales quota.
Then he joined BNI
With a gleam in his eye,
But his sales pitch kept sounding like Yoda.

What do you think? Please leave your comments below…

Until next week,

There once was a girl named Lewinsky
who played on the flute like stravinsky
twas hail to the chief
on a flute made of beef
that stole the headlines from kazinsky

You will not truly know the FORCE until after your MSP training. Then it will all be clear my Padawan.
