Groundbreaking - Buzzword

“The idea of a vision is revolutionary and groundbreaking but achieving it may be back breaking,” says Johnnie Dent, Supposing it is not frivolous ... or, shall I say, time wasting? Whatever you bring to the table, your time is well spent. For 24/7, we listen to various ideas, some have gone viral Enough, I tell you, to send most of us managers into a funk Others from the get-go, though well-presented, tend to spiral Out-of-control, no-brainers ... we are inundated with junk! SECOND PLACE WINNER written February 1, 2021 especially for "Buzzwords" Poetry Contest sponsored by Kim Rodrigues

Thanks so much, Connie. I see we squeaked in under the wire! I am always amazed that contest sponsors are looking for something other than what I take their contest to be about. It's interesting to read the different takes.

Inundated with junk…everything can’t be groundbreaking. Congratulations, Milton!

That may be true, Kim, but I believe we are "inundated with junk!" I appreciate your thoughts, Kim.

Well, I do suspect that we are "inundated with junk!" Thanks, Bill.

Bless her little heart! I was trying to incorporate the buzzwords that the contest called for. Perhaps I overdid it?

Hello Milton ... it's thought provoking when thinking about how many new inventions are prescribed as junk before the gold is struck. Costing halts many - thank you Milton - Lindsay

I certainly think that is true, Lindsay, but the ones that succeed are worth all of the failures, don't you think?
